It's a perfect spot for families to spend quality time together, with plenty of space to play and relax. The tranquility of this small beach is sure to leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Paralia Gerontas

8 Michele Caliari

Al primo mattino è deserta e permette serenamente il nudismo/naturismo. Se chi arriva successivamente sa cogliere l'opportunità e non indossa il bikini, la spiaggia diventa una meravigliosa occasione naturista. Comunque, pur essendo piccola, vi sono degli anfratti dove è garantita la privacy.

Paralia Plaka
