Clear water and you can go fishing if you are on a boat hire. Bring some proper stones beach shoes as it looks white in the photo but it hurts in the feet

Beautiful 😍 However, bring good walking shoes because the path to the beach is very stony. On the other hand, the site is magnificent 😍

Fabulous beach that you have to deserve. A 3.5 km walk to get there but it's worth it! The place is magical, the water crystal clear and no waves. Just wow!!!
