A hidden cove with waterfalls
Fine sand in a cove framed by reddish cliffs, with deep blue-green water, on the Aegean side of Pelion. Behind the beach are waterfalls up to ~30 m and a 19th-century single-arch stone bridge.
Three coves: the main one with a beach bar and parking, and two hidden and wild (with a naturist section). The main beach is unseen from the road — you descend by a hidden path.
