Descripció de la platja
The rather long and wide coast of Kapsali consists of two bays, which generally resemble an omega in shape. Due to this feature of the landscape that the beach is called "Germini". According to local legends, this is where Aphrodite was born. Looking at the surrounding scenery and dark turquoise waters it is easy to believe in this myth. Conditions for resting here are perfect:
- the shore is covered with light sand mixed with pebbles, and the sea bottom is sandy;
- the picturesque and protected beach is given a rocky frame that prevents strong winds and the formation of high waves (they do not exist here at all);
- the idyllic landscapes of the coast is completed by white houses at the foot of the cliffs and the Venetian castle of Kato Chora overlooking the beach;
- cleanliness of the coast and waters combined with the picturesque scenery and the excellent level of comfort gave the beach a legal Blue Flag mark
Safe bathing conditions have made Kapsali a popular beach for families with children. But for those who want peace and privacy, it's better to choose other beaches on the island - it is too crowded and noisy during the season.
When is the best time to go?
Grčka - zemlja dugačke dužine od sjevera do juga, pa će se preporuke razlikovati ovisno o mjestu u koje idete. Sezona godišnjih odmora počinje u maju, a vrhunac dostiže u julu-avgustu: ima previše turista, a temperatura na južnim ostrvima dostiže 40 stepeni, što možda još uvijek ne igra ulogu na plaži, ali svakako nije pogodno za razgledavanje. Dakle, najbolje vrijeme za opuštanje u Grčkoj je kraj proljeća-početak ljeta ili septembar-oktobar.
