This is an ideal spot to escape the crowds and immerse yourself in unspoiled nature. The coves boast crystal-clear water, untouched by human intervention. In short, it's a romantic haven.

Located at the base of Ayu-Dag mountain, this beach can only be accessed by boat from the sea. A short 7-10 minute ride from Partenit city beach on a motorboat for 1000 rubles round trip, the boat will drop you off and arrange a pick-up time for your return. The water here is crystal clear and perfect for a refreshing swim.

This stunning beach has been my go-to destination every year since I was born! With limited crowds, there are always multiple campsites available for a peaceful retreat. However, during a 3-point storm, the coastline can become quite rocky, making it challenging to access the water.

The beach experience was overall satisfactory, but the provision of drinking water needs to be improved. The journey from the mountain to the beach can be quite challenging due to the steep descent, but it can be made easier by opting for a boat or kayak ride.
