User reviews
"The so-called coastal path from Katelios is nothing but a treacherous route that only the most intrepid hikers dare to traverse. While it may offer a few glimpses of the ocean, the path is hardly accessible for the average beach-goer. However, for those who do brave the journey, the views are undeniably breathtaking."
Carter O'Malley
"This pristine beach with crystal clear waters that are ideal for both swimming and snorkeling. Its natural beauty remains untouched, making it a sight to behold."
