User reviews

"A nice scenic spot where you can also visit the fish market ... and buy fresh fish directly from the fishermen themselves. There are normally also a few persons also selling seasonal veggies ... but I've never bought from them so I cant comment! Parking is often difficult and some of the sidewalks and pedestrian areas need up keeping and thus I'm only giving the spot 3 star..."

Karitas Mitrogogos

"The beach is quite satisfactory, boasting convenient parking in its vicinity. Our visit fell on a weekday, which may explain the absence of any parking difficulties. The water is remarkably clean, yet it's regrettable that the shore is strewn with stones rather than sand, making it uncomfortable to walk on. It's advisable to come prepared with swim shoes, which I regrettably..."
