User reviews
"This serene and tranquil beach is a hidden gem that can only be accessed by a 4x4 vehicle or an ATV. Alternatively, it's a short 15-minute walk from the designated car park. The beach boasts beautiful caves on the right-hand side that are perfect for snorkeling enthusiasts. On the left, lies the stunning Sufi beach, offering a picturesque view of the ocean."
Nikolas Katsaros.
"The beach is a picturesque sandy paradise, but the only downside is the distance you have to park due to the rugged terrain of the road leading to it, which is only suitable for 4-wheel drive vehicles."
