A beach of small sandy coves separated by smooth granite rocks, worn by wind and sea into strange, rounded shapes. The water is shallow, calm and clear, making it good for families and snorkelling, and you can climb and sunbathe on the rocks.


It's on the bay opposite Naoussa; small boats cross from Naoussa harbour in summer, or it's a short drive. There are a few tavernas and beach bars. Come early or late in July and August, when it gets crowded.
