The sandy shore is a sight to behold, with its breathtaking beauty that leaves one in awe. However, the beach bar's exorbitant charge of 40 euros for an umbrella rental is an anomaly even for the stunning island of Santorini.

The beach had an unpleasant odor and the volume of the music played was excessively high, disrupting the peaceful atmosphere.

The beach is absolutely stunning, with its breathtaking scenery and crystal-clear waters. Walking barefoot on the soft sand is a delightful experience that connects you with nature.
