User reviews

"The beach is an ideal location for those seeking tranquility and pleasure. It is also a family-friendly destination that is perfect for children."

Nikolas Papadopoulos.

"This beach is a fantastic place to swim and relax without feeling crowded. Surrounded by mountains, the area is shielded from strong winds, making it ideal for families with children. The calm waters have very little waves, which is perfect for a peaceful swim. However, parents with young children should be careful as the water can get deep quickly. The only downside is that..."
