Hala says
Reached by a 15-minute walk through pine forest from the parking, which does the filtering: it weeds out the impatient. The cove is small, the sand fine, the water steeply deep within metres of the shore. Named for the Ottoman landing here in 1480. Bring a towel; there's no lido, no kiosk, nothing to rent. Go before 10 a.m. in July or August.
