User reviews
"This serene beach is a hidden gem, free from the hustle and bustle of crowds. The water is reminiscent of a tranquil pool, with its crystal clear clarity inviting you to take a dip. The beach is dominated by a magnificent cave, adding to the natural beauty of the surroundings. It is truly a perfect spot to relax and unwind."
Lena Santori.
"This beach is absolutely stunning, with a breathtaking water cave and a convenient shower located right underneath. The friendly locals warned us about the lionfish that inhabit the cave, so we proceeded with caution and even spotted a moray eel. It's the perfect spot for snorkeling enthusiasts. I highly recommend taking a taxi to get there and leisurely walking back to Makr..."
