If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive.

User reviews
"The path leading to the beach may not be the smoothest ride with its rocky and steep terrain. However, the surrounding trees offer a refreshing shade to relax under, but it's best to arrive early before the crowds. Once you reach the beach, you'll notice intriguing rocks that make for an exciting snorkeling adventure."
Elias Katsaros
"This beach is truly amazing, with its crystal-clear waters that are deep enough to swim in. It also boasts an abundance of shaded areas, providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Make sure to bring enough water to stay all day and fully enjoy all that this beach has to offer."
