"The beach is truly stunning, offering breathtaking views that will leave you in awe. However, if you are not comfortable maneuvering through the winding and steep roads of Vathy Village, it might be best to consider another option. Nevertheless, if you are feeling adventurous and up for a challenge, the journey to this beach is well worth the effort."
