We had to park the car on the main road because the path to the beach was filled with large rocks and fallen trees, which almost caused damage to our car. My boyfriend fell multiple times since this path requires proper footwear, not just flip flops. Unfortunately, the beach lacks any sort of amenities, including shade from trees. We ended up walking for 20 minutes down and 20 minutes back up, enduring the scorching sun with temperatures reaching 35 degrees, only to find nothing at the beach.
The sanitary facilities are in need of upgrading as they appear to be deteriorating. The mini market at the camp has seen better days, but the lady who works there is friendly. It would be great if there was a beach bar, although it seemed closed in August. The small beach within the camp is quite crowded with beach chairs stacked on top of each other, making it difficult to find a spot for your towel. There is a larger public beach available, but it requires a key for access. Overall, this camp was not what we were looking for. On a positive note, the town is conveniently located nearby and offers a beautiful view of the sunset.
This beach is a delightful and cozy spot, boasting a generously sized parking lot nearby. The water is crystal clear, and the seabed is bedecked with small pebbles. While a portion of the beach is reserved for the hotel complex and comes with umbrellas and sunbeds, the rest of the beach is open and spacious enough to bring your own parasol. Even in September, the beach was not overcrowded, and there was ample space for everyone, including a few areas with natural shade. It is definitely worth a visit, as the hotel complex is expanding, and the beach may soon become entirely private.
While dining at the restaurant, we had the delightful opportunity to encounter Panos, who made us feel right at home and consistently looked after us. He provided us with all the necessary information and recommendations for our vacation on the island. If you have a fondness for sunsets, the beach offers the most breathtaking ones. The food is delicious, and throughout the day, the DJ plays incredible music. We wish we could extend our stay there even longer ♥️.
