This serene and isolated beach offers a peaceful escape, but may not be the best option for families with young children or those who are not confident swimmers. The lack of activities and attractions may not appeal to all visitors.

This beach is a fantastic place to swim and relax without feeling crowded. Surrounded by mountains, the area is shielded from strong winds, making it ideal for families with children. The calm waters have very little waves, which is perfect for a peaceful swim. However, parents with young children should be careful as the water can get deep quickly. The only downside is that the road leading to the beach has some sharp bends, but the breathtaking views make the journey worthwhile. We visited during August and experienced meltemias every day, adding to the charm of the location.
