Wonderful Beach very relaxing , a place of zen and to unwind. Nature is calling you here. Theres a lot of hiking trails and history. A must see because its a place where its roots havent changed. So you can get a feel of how it was many years ago by visiting this very special beach.

I have stayed here for three days, I ended up surfing on this beach on a shortboard for three days. The waves where long, and fun, usually the wind died down down in the late afternoon, and the conditions improved further. There was another surfer, he said that this beach has quite often surfable waves when the north wind blows (metlamia). Overly quite please with this beach. The bottom is sandy.

This beach has become my absolute favourite spot on the island. It's a bit of a hidden gem, tucked away from the harsh northerly winds, and I can't seem to comprehend how it manages to stay so sheltered. It's almost like a secret oasis, with its secluded location requiring a trek down a long set of stairs and over a hill, past a quaint church. As a result, it's blissfully less crowded with tourists, which is a definite plus in my books. The water is serene, with a pristine clarity that's simply breathtaking. And to top it all off, the beach bar is nothing short of fabulous.

This beach is truly amazing and getting there is quite simple with just a 30-minute hike. With the appropriate footwear, a relaxed attitude, and good vibes, reaching the beach is a breeze. We absolutely loved it. Remember to bring water and any necessary supplies as it is a remote and stunningly beautiful beach.

This beach is supposedly amazing, but let's be real, it's just like any other beach. Sure, the road to get there may be a bit of a challenge, but what's the point of going if it's not a little bit of an adventure? The area is pretty, but let's not act like it's the most breathtaking view you'll ever see. And yeah, it's not usually crowded, but that's probably because people have caught on to the fact that it's nothing special. As for swimming naked...I mean, sure, I guess you could. But let's not forget that there are other people around who may not appreciate the view. And don't even get me started on the jellyfish situation. Who wants to go to the beach and not be able to enjoy the water? Overall, this beach is overhyped and not worth the effort to get there.
