It is true that, as a beach, there are many better around. It has large stones and can be uncomfortable unless you have the right equipment. Ignoring that, it is beautiful. The views are stunning, you get to see all the history around you and the water is crystal clear. The sea is warm and feels very safe. The island gets very hot so this is a nice place to cool down after visiting all the joys of the Spinalonga.

Spinalonga itself is lovely and steeped in history but as for a beach, perhaps not, a selection of rocky areas, large rocks where treading carefully you can negotiate your way into some small areas for bathing, not the kind of place you can sunbathe at all really, no sand, lot's of rocks and hundreds of people getting on and off the tour boats from nearby villages and towns.
