My Rating Overall
0=will not return to this beach
Beach
S=sand (sandy beach)
Sea Floor
S=sand (sandy beach)
Water
1=the sea water was not very inviting at the time
we visited. We did more sunbathing than swimming
(just my own unscientific observation of the water feel and appearance)
My family and I enjoy the water when it is crystal clear, and cool
instead of warm. We don' like to see any visible floating particles
of any kind
or algae settled
on the beach.
Clothing
Topless sunbathing is not common
Access
Good=paved road all the way to the beach, parking near
the beach
Amenities
R=restaurant (on the beach)
B=bar (on the beach)
C=cantina (on the beach)
RV / Camper Accessibility
P= RV Room for Parking. Site suitable for parking on the
side of the road for the day, but not for camping.
Snorkeling
S=only sand bottom
Notes
This was our favorite swim spot near Athens until 2001. We went
swimming there almost every day, but during the last two years
every time we went the waters were murky and not as clean as before.
We will never return again.
