Amenities from OpenStreetMap — they may have changed and the list is not exhaustive.
Beach near the settlement of Almyrida, oriented towards the sea at 41 degrees. The landscape surrounds the area with a distinct Cretan feel.
Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.
The beach faces northeast. With southwesterly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with northeasterly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The orientation is computed from the shape of the shore; how much its bay shelters it has not been checked yet.
In calm seas yes, but the water gets deep fairly quickly — normal supervision applies.
On days with southwesterly (offshore) winds or no wind at all. Check the live score on Beach Radar before you go — it updates all day.
No — it is an unspoiled beach with no facilities, so bring water and shade with you.
