User reviews
"The beach may be small, but it is quite delightful with its genuine sandy shoreline and absence of pebbles. For a fee of €7 per day, you can enjoy the convenience of comfortable sun beds. Although there isn't an official lifeguard, the staff from the nearby restaurant are extremely vigilant in ensuring everyone's safety."
Stephen Meadows
"The beach had lovely little loungers available for 10 euros, perfect for two people. However, the sea was quite rough, which made the experience less enjoyable. It was mentioned that the wind was particularly strong for this time of year. Despite this, we decided to spend a week at Stalis Beach, hoping that the conditions would improve."
