User reviews
"A rare and unforgettable experience awaits you at this stunning beach. However, it is important to plan accordingly and allocate ample time to return to your cruise ship, as the bridge closure can cause significant delays in traffic. Don't miss out on the opportunity to bask in the natural beauty of this location."
Nikolai Karamanlis
"The sight of airplanes soaring above the beach is truly mesmerizing. However, this particular beach is bustling with activity, making it quite a chaotic environment. The constant flow of traffic can be overwhelming and the waves are quite strong, therefore, it may not be the safest option for families with young children who wish to swim."
