User reviews
"The beach offers of stunning black stones that add a unique touch to the picturesque landscape. However, it is not equipped with facilities such as umbrellas and chairs, so it's best to bring your own. The water is refreshingly cool, but its crystal-clear quality makes it irresistible."
Eren Ozan
"The beach on this island is undoubtedly my most cherished spot. Its obsidian-like volcanic stones are a sight to behold, and the cleanliness of the area is impeccable. A small shop is available for refreshments, ranging from water to hot dogs. Changing cabanas and showers are provided for convenience, but unfortunately, there are no restroom facilities."
