Sitting at the end of a valley beyond Plaka in the north of the island, this pebble-strewn sandy beach is exceptionally pretty. The water is a vivid aquamarine and there are craggy limestone formations at each end. There's not much development here apart from a single flash house and a summertime beach bar. The access road is good, although there's limited parking.
