User reviews
"The beach boasts vibrant, tropical hues and crystal-clear waters, creating an experience akin to swimming in a luxurious pool. The location is fantastic, although it can get quite windy on certain days. Additionally, it tends to be quite crowded, so it's best not to have high expectations for the beach bar."
Zephyr Frost
"The beach boasts stunningly clear waters and picturesque surroundings, making it one of the top beaches on the island. However, the presence of numerous sunbeds that occupy a significant portion of the beach area is a minor drawback. It is unfortunate to see a naturally beautiful place like this being marred in such a way."
