It's a beautiful place, but we pitched a tent and were fined 3,000 lira. Go accordingly.

I decided to camp online and researched the bay, but after reading reviews, I realized many people were having trouble because of the wind. So I went for a day trip. To get to the bay, you'll have to walk downhill for about 2 km. Some sections of the road are rough, so it's best to go slow. I arrived at the bay around noon. I didn't park on the sandy side; some friends told me they got stuck. On Sunday, July 20th, there were only 20-25 people in the bay. It was a quiet bay. The sea was a bit rocky, but you can see beautiful coral and fish with a snorkel. If you have anyone to call beforehand, let them know; there's no phone signal. There are no restrooms or showers. Strong winds started around 3-4, and the sea was very choppy, making it unsuitable for swimming, so I deducted one point. Other than that, everything was fine.

If you're looking for zero people, zero phone reception, but perfect peace and quiet, definitely go. Greece's phone line doesn't work either; there's no reception at all. But it was amazing, I went there two days in a row.

There are no toilets or showers, and no phone signal. There's no shade. The road after the main road is in poor condition. There are large rocks in the sea, so be careful. There's shopping at the new port, but the road takes over an hour to get there. It's deserted at night, and some people stay in prefabricated houses. Before arriving, it's a windy day; even a light breeze can keep you awake at night. Please pack up your trash and leave.

I don't recommend going; it's not worth it. The road is terrible, a real pain. Also, the beach is rocky and not very nice. When we went, the sea was choppy and covered in seaweed.
