Paralia Ligaria
8 Aldrik Zoltanov.

The beach is simply amazing with its soft sandy texture. It offers an array of restaurants to satisfy your cravings and comfortable deck chairs to relax on. During our visit, the waves were impressively huge, making it unsuitable for swimming. However, the little ones had a delightful time playing with the waves in the shallow waters and building sandcastles on the shore.
