"The most beautiful beach on the island! I’ve never seen sand like that before, if you love beach walks this is the perfect place- when you walk by the water the feet don’t sink in, and when you walk on dry send, it feels like it’s caressing your feet. It’s very long so it’s never crowded, there are sunbeds available (10€ per set) or you can find a place for your own umbrella."
