Tertsa Beach is not organized with umbrellas or sunbeds, but the tamarisks adorning it offer natural shade. The shore is covered in gray coarse sand and boasts dazzling, crystal-clear, azure waters. Around it, you will not find much, only a few traditional taverns and some accommodations. A few meters to the north, you can see the lovely Saint George church, and on the western side, there is an impressive, massive rock. Behind the rock lies the second beach on the coastline, called Psarocharako, a charming, secluded shore.

The wider area is not very developed and has preserved its authenticity, making it the perfect resort for quiet, isolated vacations.
