Latest reviews on Kolan's beaches
Cesarica beach

Magsy
The beach offers a stunning view of the mountains and the island. It has a gradual slope and the water remains shallow for a considerable distance. It is an ideal spot for families with young children as there is a natural pool on the right with warmer water. The mixture of saltwater and freshwater creates a refreshing experience. There is ample parking available along the road, and a smooth descent from the parking lot to the beach allows off-road vehicles to park comfortably. Some shade can be found here until noon, after which it becomes scarce. The water is teeming with fish, making it worthwhile to bring a mask or goggles.
