Traveler reviews
Werner Stocker (SpeedyGii)
★★★★★3 months agoWe came from the village side. There are a few parking lots, but it was already busy when the season started. After a short hike you had a stunning view and could also enter the red beach from this side. The red colour and the rock formation is stunning, no matter if you come there by car or visit from afar via boat.

★★★★★2 months agoYou can walk up to a certain point easily. Most people turn back from there. We went down to the beach which is a bit challenging walk down. The beach itself is small pebble stones and no sand.
