This beach is simply stunning, with sand that's as soft as a baby's bottom and water that's warm and still. It's so private that you'll hardly see anyone else around. But, to reach this paradise, you'll have to take a 20-minute stroll on a "road" that's more like a rocky obstacle course. The path is officially closed and there are signs warning you to stay away. As you make your way down, you'll hear the ominous sound of little stones falling from the cliffs above. It's a bit dangerous, so be sure to watch your step and take heed of the risks.

Cyprus has always been my go-to destination for a beach getaway, and I must say, my favourite place on the island has got to be the beach. The breathtaking view is truly remarkable and will leave you in awe. It's a place where you can relax and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. I highly recommend visiting this beach if you're ever in Cyprus, it's definitely worth it!

The stunning beach in Cyprus is a sight to behold, though it does require a leisurely twenty-minute trek to reach its shores. While the journey is not treacherous, it is advisable to don comfortable footwear as the terrain is stony. Shade is not readily available, so it is advisable to bring your own parasol. The water is invitingly shallow and refreshing. However, on windy days, it may not be the ideal spot to visit. Despite this, the beach is a hidden gem, and you can enjoy its beauty without the crowds.
