It is shaped by wind and sea – sometimes spiky, some other time it changes into a small curved bay. However, you will enjoy the mild lagoon-like shore, wind and rough-sea protected by the opposite island of Nikouria. For afficionados a hangout refuge and a well liked spot for fishing, diving, snorkeling and anchoring too.
