A beautiful beach with a great variety of water sports at affordable prices. There's plenty of free parking available, and it's just a short walk to the beach. While it may not have the same polished, luxurious feel as Nissi Beach, the water is just as clear and breathtaking, and it's much less crowded. Highly recommend, though keep in mind that parking can be limited! P.S: You just have to becareful while going down by walk but otherwise, a very lovely area.
