If you're looking for a peaceful escape from the crowds of Santorini, this little beach is a great option. While there may be some litter due to lack of maintenance, the calm waters and serene atmosphere make it well worth a visit. Keep in mind that the road leading to the beach is in poor condition, with gravel and sand making it difficult for smaller cars to navigate. It's best to park at the top and walk down if you don't have a 4x4 or quad bike.
