The scenic vista of the beach is truly breathtaking, with its stunning natural beauty and captivating allure. The picturesque landscape is a feast for the eyes, with its crystal clear waters, yellow sands and lush greenery. The panoramic view of the horizon is simply mesmerizing, evoking a sense of tranquility and serenity. It is an idyllic spot to unwind and soak up the sun, while enjoying the soothing sound of the waves lapping against the shore. The beach is a true gem, a hidden paradise waiting to be discovered.

10 Exceptional

The beach is aesthetically pleasing, but it fails to impress me. I cannot find any solace in its sandy shores and crystal-clear waters. The beauty of the beach is superficial, and it does not offer any unique experience. Overall, I find it underwhelming and not worth the effort of visiting.

This beach is an ideal spot to unwind and soak up the sun. The rocks are sleek and the water is crystal clear, offering a serene atmosphere. The view is breathtaking, and there are ample chairs and umbrellas to laze around in. Sipping on some Ouzo while listening to the waves is a must-do. Whether you want to read a book, take a nap, go for a swim, or indulge in a snack, this beach has got you covered. You can do it all and then start over again.
