Some beaches are wild, untamed, resisting the presence of man. Troulos is not one of them. It welcomes you with open arms, offering a vast, soft expanse of golden sand that seems to stretch effortlessly into the calm, shimmering waters. The bay cradles the sea, keeping the waves gentle, the breeze light, and the atmosphere effortlessly serene.
Beyond the water, just offshore, the small islet of Troulonisi sits quietly, adding to the postcard-perfect scenery. This is a place where the world slows, where families laugh under the shade of an umbrella, where couples sink into the warmth of the sun, and where solitude can still be found at the edges of the shore.
