Description

Long west-coast strand south of Mikri Vigla and north of Alyko/Glyfada. Predominantly fine, light sand with clear, turquoise water. Generally open to the Aegean with exposure to the northerly Meltemi; conditions range from calm to choppy depending on wind, with small waves more likely on windy days. Access is by paved road; public bus services the area in season. Parking is mostly along the road or at venues behind the beach. Parts of the shoreline are unorganized, while several sections have managed sunbeds/umbrellas and low-key beach bars/tavernas. No widely reported lifeguard presence. Cautions: limited natural shade; wind/wave chop during Meltemi; facilities are scattered rather than continuous.
