About
Quick facts: The coast is approximately 400 meters long and is known for its unique mix of fine sandy and pebbly seabed that pleasantly cools the feet in the water. It is also famous for small rocky coves where you can find peace away from the crowds.
Highlights: A little-known fact is that the beach is popular among local musicians who occasionally hold acoustic concerts on the sandy shore under the stars. The warm colors of the sunset paint the rocky formations in thematic red and orange shades, creating an almost magical atmosphere.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable sandals for walking on the pebbly parts of the beach.
- The best spots for photography are by the rocky cliffs east of the main part of the beach.
- Avoid visiting in the afternoon hours during July and August due to the crowds.
- Bring water and snacks as nearby shops are a few kilometers away.
