The beach is pleasant, but to gain access to the parking lot, you must make a reservation and payment on their website. No other parking options are available, and you'll need to walk 1.5 km from the lot. However, the beach can get quite crowded, so it's best to arrive early in the morning or later in the afternoon.

This beach is absolutely amazing and can only be reached by foot via a 1km trail. It's best to visit either early in the morning or in the evening because it tends to get crowded quickly. I went in May and at sunrise, it was practically deserted.

This is an amazing beach, but it's best to avoid visiting during July and August. To access the beach, you need to book online ahead of time, and the booking page allows you to reserve your spot within 72 hours of your visit. The car park costs 10 euros, and it's 1 euro per person. There are no food or services available on the beach, so you'll need to bring your own food and plenty of water. However, there is a bar at the car park that sells drinks, pizzas, sandwiches, and local fruits at honest prices. We even bought some peaches and apricots from their land on our way back home, and they were delicious! The beach has breathtaking green water and a white sandy beach. The best times to enjoy the colors are early morning up to 12 and sunset time from 6pm. The car park closes at 9pm, so be sure to return on time. The walk to the beach is about 2km and takes about 30 minutes. The path is easy for the most part, but there is a steep hill on the way back that requires some effort. However, the majority of the path is shaded by trees, which helps to keep you cool. This is a wild beach, so don't expect to pay for umbrellas or sunbeds. We loved our visit and plan to return at the end of September when it's not as crowded.
