User reviews
"This picturesque stretch of sandy shoreline is an idyllic destination for families with little ones in tow. With its gentle waves and invitingly warm waters, it's a veritable playground for kids to frolic and splash about in. The beach's serene atmosphere and natural beauty make it a truly lovely spot to soak up the sun and unwind."
Zacharias Kostopoulos (zackos)
"The beach stretches out with a vast expanse of fine sand, but the water is chilly, making it ideal for a refreshing dip on a hot day. Its shallow depth makes it suitable for little ones or inexperienced swimmers. While it surpasses other beaches on the island, it lacks any unique features that would set it apart from the rest."
