Fun, soft and empty beach (early May) with a funky bar right next to it. Great 45 min hike to get there. Facing the ocean on the right side of the beach there are some really cool rock sculptures that are worth exploring

Definately worth it - a much better, clearer, and exotic beach comparing to the Matala one. Please take good shoes and start your journey around 7:00 a.m. - it gets freaking hot. Even hiking and view around worth it for sure ;)
