Great beach
About a 20 to 25 minute bus ride to the beach area. Christoph (sp) was very attentive and gave lots of information on the ride to the beach. Sun beds and umbrellas were basic but comfortable. Beach is very smooth and water was calm for young children. Great little taverna which had a variety of sandwiches and appetizer platters to choose from. Perfect spot to sit and have a cup of coffee or a drink and look out over the beach and water.
