"What a splendid beach! Unlike the bustling Stafylos beach, this serene haven allows you to truly relax and take it easy. If you're seeking a breathtaking sunrise, this is the spot to be! The scenery is absolutely stunning! Take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters as you bask in the warmth of the sun on your skin, and be captivated by the mesmerizing vista."

"To reach the beach, one can either take the route through Stafilos beach or opt for a boat ride. The beach is adorned with rocks, but they are spotlessly clean. One can relish the goodness of cocktails at the beach bar. If you want to enjoy the beach without getting scorched by the sun, you can rent an umbrella for 7 euros for the entire day."
