Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a shoreline completely covered with smooth, rounded pebbles of various sizes and colors, without sandy areas. The water is generally clear and suitable for wading and swimming near the shore. The beach area has rented open cottages and huts along the pebble stretch, with views of the sea and surrounding hills. The terrain is uneven due to loose stones, and there are no large resorts directly on the beach.
