It is advisable to make sure to have with you umbrella, hats, sunscreen, water and fruit, in order to have a good time…
Excellent is of course the famous beach of Porto Katsiki, at which we will go by a car to the parking space and then we will go down the stairs to arrive at the beach (please note the slag present in the metal bar in some places).

We can even (on return) eat a sandwich or to drink our coffee at the cafes on the beach, enjoying the lovely views.
