Beach description
The bay is protected from the wind by picturesque, layered mountains, which makes it perfect for young children. Underwater enthusiasts will appreciate the variety of stones on the sea bottom. However, those who like to swim far from the shore should be cautious, as there is a strong current 100 meters away from the beach.
While there are no umbrellas or deck chairs on this beach, visitors can enjoy two excellent taverns where they can try tasty and affordable food. A small parking lot is situated just before the beach, and the beach itself is equipped with showers and toilets. For those interested, boat rentals are available to admire the picturesque views from the sea.
