User reviews
"The beach is an absolute gem, perfect for snorkeling and exploring the underwater world. There are also plenty of tavernas nearby to grab a bite to eat and relax. I had the opportunity to go scuba diving and was blown away by the stunning sights at 17 meters below the surface. This is a must-visit destination for any beach lover."
Zarina Kovalenko
"This idyllic beach is a true gem. The tranquil waters are perfect for a refreshing dip, although it may take a bit of finesse to get in. However, once you navigate the entry, you'll be rewarded with a sublime swimming experience. The beach is also ideal for snorkeling, with an abundance of marine life to discover."
