Been here?
4x4 access only
Getting here needs an off-road vehicle. Check your ground clearance before setting off.
A secluded, sunny beach beside olive trees, offering privacy but no infrastructure and little shade. The access is narrow, steep and demanding, with a 180-degree turn; a current low cable limits passage to 3m, and the turn is difficult above 7.5m. The track is partly asphalted, but the beach remains uneven and access to the water is challenging. AWD or experienced driving is recommended.

Really beautiful spot. Very quiet, with no dogs or cats. Occasionally the honey seller comes by and talks about the former iron mine nearby. Keep it clean.
Access to the water is more challenging than the paved approach. The biggest challenge is finding the entrance. Above 7.5 meters, the 180-degree turn becomes annoying. The site is remote and very sunny. No infrastructure whatsoever, but solid mobile reception. With an AWD Sprinter L2H2, the beach is no problem either. A secluded place, not just for passing through.
Most of the access road has now been paved, so it was manageable even with our 6-meter, 3.1-ton Fiat Ducato. Still more suitable for experienced drivers! We also did not drive onto the beach, but parked behind it next to the olive trees. We stayed here for three nights and had hardly any visitors. Very lovely spot!
Nice place, but there is only the sea and nothing else. Small, somewhat uneven beach. The beach itself is really accessible only with a 4x4; you sink in quickly. Very narrow access.
Unfortunately, a cable is currently hanging too low. Maximum clearance is 3 meters.
We stayed here 26/9 - 27/9/2024. The access road is bad, narrow and in some places very steep. A 4x4 vehicle is required or a very good driver. Not for campers. Pebble beach with rock slabs and clear sea. A wonderful place to spend the night, far away from the crazy world. We recommend it.
We spent one night here, awesome place, easy access, great view, good connection. Quite windy during the noght
Great motorhome site! We found it very quiet and relaxing.
A 4x4 is absolutely not necessary. With a 3-ton T6 with front-wheel drive, it was no problem at all—not even the slightest wheel slip. The road is almost entirely made of rough concrete. It is steep, but who cares if the vehicle can handle it? Park in the front area straight away; otherwise, the risk of getting stuck is quite high! The beach itself is very pleasant, with international visitors and few sea urchins. It is rocky.
Very steep access. Only suitable for rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The beach is very clean. Rather unsuitable for swimming, as access to the water is only via slippery rock slabs.
Beautiful and very quiet place. Crystal-clear water and no litter. Some sea urchins and jellyfish. The descent is steep and narrow. Our large 4x4 Toyota Sequoia could not make the turn on the first attempt. I do not recommend it for motorhomes, only passenger cars. It is best to enter the descent road from the town side. Be careful, as you can get stuck on the beach itself; do not drive too far. The pebbles are soft. Leave the place clean.
Beautiful, wonderfully sheltered, and fairly clean place. As always: take away more rubbish than you bring, for example a full shopping bag, and Greece will be clean in no time. Enjoy!
I do not see reason why it would be only for 4x4. We did it with 7m long van (iveco daily) with no problem. The only thing you need is good tires, traction on back wheels and very good breaks (do not risk it if you are not sure about your breaks, it could be potentially life threatening). Do not go there with womos. The beach itself is not worth it. If you are not sure, better move along.
Beautiful, secluded place. Steep access and soft beach. The beach itself is not particularly beautiful, though. We were there in a T3 with two-wheel drive.
