This beach is a true gem, with its breathtaking scenery and stunning views. The best part is that you can enjoy the beauty of the beach without worrying about the sun, as free umbrellas are provided when you make an order. And when the sun sets, the sky becomes a canvas of vibrant colors, making for an unforgettable experience.

There isn't much left to see, and the presence of beehives and adult snakes in close proximity to the ruins makes it unsafe for exploration. I strongly discourage visiting this place.

Kameros Beach II
10 Crispin Hollander

The beach was really lovely, especially with the shade it offered. It was incredibly peaceful and far removed from the tourist crowds.

Κοpria Beach II
10 Nina Kessler

This beach is truly amazing and quite secluded. To get here, you'll need a 4x4 Jeep as driving with a regular car is not possible all the way down. You can park at the top and make your way down, but be aware that the descent is quite steep, so it may not be suitable for young children.
