I've visited several beaches in the vicinity, but this one stands out as one of the finest. The stroll down and up is enjoyable, with stunning vistas of the beach and the surrounding area. Kanali beach, thank you for a wonderful experience; now I just have to wait for my sunburn to heal, haha.

The descent to the beach may seem daunting at first, but with a few breaks, it's manageable. It's advisable to wear appropriate footwear, such as trainers, as there is a small muddy section where reeds have been trimmed for walking. However, it's still possible to navigate the steep terrain in sandals. The beach is relatively uncrowded due to the challenging walk, providing ample space for visitors to spread out. However, it can become more populated when families with children arrive and sit nearby. To avoid this, we moved towards the end of the beach where other nudists were located, allowing us to enjoy a peaceful swim away from the crowds. Other couples followed suit, presumably to escape the noise near the entrance. All in all, it's a great beach for nudists and those seeking tranquility. We would definitely return for its peacefulness. However, if you prefer an easier route, Trapezaki Beach may be a better option as it can be reached by walking from the car park and over the rocks.
