Porto Timoni beach

Directions

One of the most stunning beaches to admire from above and a truly unique experience once you’re down at the beach. While access isn’t the easiest, the effort is absolutely worth it. The hiking trail from the top viewpoint to the shores of Porto Timoni Beach involves an elevation drop of roughly 150–200 meters (500–650 feet), depending on the path you take.

The trail can be steep and rocky in sections, so proper footwear is highly recommended. The descent typically takes about 15–20 minutes, and the breathtaking views of the twin beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters make every step worthwhile!
