Don't let appearances deceive you! This stunning beach is privately owned by the hotel, meaning it's not accessible to the general public. It's a shame really, as the scenery is truly breathtaking and the secluded setting could have provided a unique experience for visitors.

The seashore is predominantly secluded, and we had to resort to a sneaky approach by traversing the unpaved path (either on foot for 20 minutes or by a four-wheel drive). However, it is not an obligatory destination for beachgoers.

2 Very poor

The path leading from Milatos to Sissi, which the hotel claimed to be the official road, has been destroyed. Upon arrival, the hotel staff falsely informed us that the beach was private and only accessible to hotel guests. However, it is important to note that there are no private beaches in Greece, and all beaches are open to the public. Therefore, do not be deterred by the security's misleading information and feel free to enjoy the beach. In the event of any further issues, it may be necessary to contact the authorities for assistance.
