A beach that stands out for its beauty, uniqueness, and seclusion can be found on this island. If you plan to explore, I suggest walking if you lack the ability to drive on unpaved roads. It's best to have a 4 x 4 vehicle and take the second road from Pigadia. The first road is a challenging 4 km long stretch with deep crevasses, holes, and steep descents that make it difficult to navigate. The second road is not easy, but it's manageable even with a small car. Don't forget to stop and appreciate the breathtaking view from the church overlooking the beach on the left. There's a cozy tavern and a few umbrellas available. It's highly recommended to visit in the morning to witness the stunning colors of the sea, as seen in the photos.

This beach, situated on the island, is truly a sight to behold. It is one of the most stunning beaches in the area, yet it remains relatively uncrowded. The reason for this is the less-than-ideal road leading to the beach. After a certain point, the road becomes a dirt track, making it difficult to access. However, once you arrive and take in the breathtaking views, crystal-clear waters, and soft sand, all of the difficulties of the journey fade away. This beach is truly a hidden gem worth discovering.

Be mindful when approaching the beach from Wells, as there are two possible routes. Opt for the second path you encounter, which may take a bit longer but is easier to navigate. Once you arrive, you'll be greeted by a stunning and expansive shoreline. The water is so clear and pristine, it's almost like looking through a crystal.

The beach is absolutely stunning, with pristine waters that are so clear you can see straight to the bottom. It's a beautiful spot to relax and soak up some sun, and the perfect place to take a refreshing dip in the ocean.
