User reviews
"Nice beach to spend your day, although the cost of renting an umbrella is quite steep. However, the umbrellas are equipped with solar panels, making them both environmentally friendly and practical, with the added bonus of a USB charger. The beach is spotless and inviting, as is typical of Greece's beaches."
