We enjoyed some of the other beaches much more but were intrigued by hundreds of baby frogs about as big as small spiders, hopping everywhere on the beach>

Castara Bay is incredible. Very beautiful, mountainous and the local people were absolutely lovely to us. Definitely worth the venture..that being said...take a tour there, or bring a local, or at the very least someone who is accustomed to driving on steep blind corners. We rented a maxi for 7 of us and the drive up was tumultuous to say... More

There are two beaches, a small one called... More

Beach is nice and clean, fairly shallow...lots of places to buy food and drink. You can watch the fishermen bringing in their catch of the day as well.

Having heard a lot about this beach we were very disappointed. There was no where to park and the beach like so many others shelved steeply and was not good for young children. A pretty village though and would be ok for adults.
