10 Exceptional

The beach is absolutely stunning with ample room, food stalls, and restaurants. It's perfect for novice swimmers and kids since it doesn't have a steep incline, although there are slightly larger rocks on the ocean floor. Towards the south, you'll find fascinating hexagon platforms that are ideal for lounging and basking in the warm sun.

4 Frustrating

The central area is consistently overcrowded and unclean. The remaining sections are tidy, but the presence of large rocks in the water makes swimming uncomfortable. Additionally, there are no public restroom facilities available.

2 Very poor

There are no public or private restrooms available anywhere on the beach! I've been coming here regularly for years, but this year the only private restrooms are permanently closed. Nobody seems to have any information about it. (June 14, 2023)

8 Very good

The beach is pleasant and relatively peaceful, with a limited number of beach bars and restaurants. However, there are still a decent amount available. Instead of sand, the beach consists of pebbles, so it is advisable to wear water shoes when entering the sea. Additionally, there is a fee of 4 units of currency for the use of sun chairs or umbrellas. In the evenings, the beach offers a lovely shoreline for leisurely walks. It is worth noting that the small shops near the shore only accept cash payments, specifically in euros.

6 Pleasant

The beach is decent, with clear and pleasantly warm water. However, it can be quite bothersome as there are far too many people crowding around, practically on top of you or just a few centimeters away. Additionally, the constant noise from numerous children yelling makes it difficult to truly unwind and enjoy the beach, which is quite disappointing.
