4 Frustrating

When it comes to the beaches in Gavdos, this particular one may not stand out as much. It lacks that certain something that sets it apart from the others. Even though it's located near the port, it doesn't quite capture the eye or the heart. However, if you're in need of a quick dip before setting off on your journey, this beach is perfect for you. It may not be the most alluring or enchanting, but it serves its purpose well. So, if you're looking for a simple and practical spot to cool off, this beach is just what you need.

The beach is a serene and tranquil spot, except for the occasional passing of a ship. Visitors can enjoy a meal at the restaurant or grab some essentials at the mini market.
