User reviews

"This beach is an ideal spot to relax and enjoy your time, although it can get quite busy, the water is incredibly clear."

Nikolas Papadopoulos.

"If you plan on driving to the beach, make sure to choose the correct route. There are two options - one suitable for all types of cars and the other only for 4x4 vehicles. Do not make the same mistake as me and take the wrong route."
