Visited this beach in June of last year and was pleasantly surprised by the peacefulness of the area. While there were no restaurants or chairs available, this only added to the charm of the beach. The natural shade provided by the trees was a welcome relief for those who are more sensitive to the sun's rays. The sand was soft and the water was shallow, making it perfect for a relaxing swim. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil beach experience.

This is a fantastic spot, particularly for families with kids. The beach itself is only 100 meters long and relatively shallow, but the water is the clearest and warmest I've ever encountered. Additionally, I have included some photos and the latest menu prices.

On my second visit to Thasos, I couldn't resist revisiting this beach. In my opinion, it boasts one of the most spectacular seas I've ever encountered. The beach itself is rather petite, but its proximity to the sea is unbeatable. The local cuisine was also a highlight of my experience. I highly recommend trying the calamari - it's simply the best! The chef is truly talented. Another dish that left a lasting impression on my taste buds was the white sauce pasta with shrimp. It was so delicious that I could easily compare it to the offerings of Italian restaurants in Italy. Overall, this beach is a must-visit destination for anyone who appreciates stunning scenery and delectable cuisine.

This beach is quite pleasant, although the shade seems to creep up rather swiftly for my liking. The water is pristine, with a sufficient amount of sand dispersed throughout. If you're feeling adventurous, there's the option to go snorkeling near the nearby rocks. It's also a great spot for families with young children.

The beach is peaceful, well-maintained, and boasts crystal-clear water. Instead of renting a sun bed and umbrella, you simply purchase a drink.
