Sandy great natural beauty is one of the best and most beautiful beaches in Greece.

However, if someone wants to walk, must follow a path from the beach Schinos. Will take about 45 minutes, passing through a forest of oaks, cypress and pine trees that reach the sea.

There is a canteen in the area, but there is no natural shade.
