Welcome to this charming little resort, where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and soak up some much-needed serenity. The rooms are simply gorgeous - modern, comfortable and equipped with a top-notch air conditioning system to keep you cool as a cucumber. The restaurant is a bit on the quiet side, but the local, organic produce is a definite plus. As for entertainment, it's not exactly the Las Vegas strip, but it'll do the trick. And while the sea may be a bit of a hike, it's nothing a good pair of walking shoes can't handle. Overall, this place exudes tranquility - and who couldn't use a little more of that in their lives?

Let me share with you the pros and cons of my experience at the beach.
The negatives:
- Unfortunately, the water tends to get murky after 11am without any apparent reason. I suspect that the purifier might be overworked, discharging impurities into the sea.
- Beware of jellyfish, especially when the water is cloudy. They are hard to spot and can be quite dangerous.
- Wasps and mosquitoes can be a nuisance on the beach.
- Public showers are scarce and located closer to the seafront than to the bathers.
The positives:
- The beach offers a variety of exercise equipment in excellent condition, the only ones I've seen during my stay on the Ionian Sea.
- Children can enjoy games and electric scooters for rent.
- There's a bicycle lane for those who prefer to pedal by the sea.
- The waterfront boasts a vast space that hosts many events throughout the summer.
- The resort has a lively atmosphere during the season.
- You can choose between a pebble beach with a sandy bottom or a totally sandy beach, such as San Nicola beach.
- The Vittoria bakery is a must-visit spot that serves delicious pizza by the slice.
- Parking is ample and convenient.
Overall, I would give this beach a six out of ten. If you found this review helpful, please consider leaving a like.
