A wild "Robinson Crusoe" beach with tamarisks

Sand and pebbles with deep turquoise water, on the east coast. Undeveloped and "Robinson Crusoe"-like, with big tamarisk trees for natural shade. Trails connect toward ancient Karthaia, Kea’s most important ancient city.

Access via ~3.2 km of rough dirt road, passable with care — which keeps crowds away even at peak. It faces east, exposed to the Meltemi.
