"Xigia Beach - also known as Sulfur Beach
You should not be afraid of an unpleasant smell upon arrival. All this is due to the mining of sulfur in this region, due to which the water contains large amounts of sulfur that gives off a distinctive aroma. The sulfur comes from nearby caves and has healing properties, making it an ideal choice for those suffering from leg pain and arthritis. Also helps treat cellulite! And the skin becomes amazingly smooth :) However, you need to take care of yourself and don't spend a lot of time here, because a lot of people can be very sensitive to sulfur.
The water here is clean and pleasant, although rather cold (due to the rocks and the great depth of the water - a few meters from the beach can be tens of meters deep).
Access to this beach is very easy, there is a large parking lot. Also at the top of the mountain (since the beach itself is below), there is a tavern that takes care of its visitors' feet and lowers the food down to the beach with a special mechanism :) Of course, you can visit the tavern itself at the top of the mountain too.
⭐️ Amenities: sunbeds and umbrellas, beach bar, parking"

"A sulfur beach! You an smell it, but it's not overwhelming. There's collagen in the water from the minerals, so it's naturally great for your skin! "
