Prassa Beach II

András Kovács.
This beach is truly a gem, with its pristine waters that are so clear you can see every detail of the ocean floor. The sand is a beautiful shade of white, almost like chalk, and it doesn't cling to your skin like other beaches. The beach bar is a great place to unwind, with a decent selection of music and friendly staff who are always ready to help. The prices are reasonable, with a set of umbrellas costing around 20 euros, and the snacks are both delicious and fairly priced given the remote location of the beach. While there are no toilets due to local regulations, this doesn't detract from the overall experience of this tranquil and relaxing spot. Although it may be a bit of a challenge to get to, it's definitely worth the effort to experience this slice of paradise.

While it may not be organized, this only adds to its charm, allowing you to bring along all the essentials for a truly personalized experience.
