Therma beach
The beach looks like a small, artificially created lake by the sea. There are healing hot springs. The beach is crowded during the day, because of those who came here for wellness treatments. And those who prefer thalassotherapy among fewer vacationers should come here in the late afternoon.

When is the best time to go?
Greece - a country with a long length from north to south, so the recommendations will vary depending on the place where you are going. The holiday season begins in May and reaches a peak in July-August: there are too many tourists, and the temperature on the southern islands reaches 40 degrees, which may still not play a role on the beach, but certainly not suitable for sightseeing. So the best time to relax in Greece is the end of spring-beginning of summer or September-October.

Infrastructure
You can’t drive to the beach by car, because you need to go down to it by foot. Cars are left in the parking lot close to the bus stop, or in the parking lot after the descent along the dirt road down the mountain. A dirt road and a few steep roads lead to the beach. But during the journey along it there is the opportunity to enjoy a great panorama.
There are no toilets or changing rooms on the Farm beach. There is a shower at the parking lot near the bus stop.
Those who wish to climb the mountain can take advantage of the "services" of donkeys, the owners of which for a moderate fee will provide an opportunity to admire the scenery from the height of steep cliffs.
Farm Beach is chosen by tourists who like to relax on the semi-wild seashore in a society of their own kind. They live in nearby hotels on the island of Kos and get to a secluded place in almost extreme conditions. Therefore, such a holiday is not suitable for children.
