Xigia Sulfur Beach (Sulphur Beach) on the northeast coast is known as a "natural spa" because the seawater there contains sulfur and collagen from nearby caves. This gives the water a milky-light blue color and is said to be beneficial for skin and joints.
Due to the sulfur springs, the beach smells distinctly of "rotten eggs".
The beach is accessible by car. There is a paid parking lot (approx. €3.50 per day) as well as free parking on the roadside.

From the car park, a steep path leads down to the bay.
There is a snack bar above the beach, which originally lowers orders down to the beach in a basket via a rope.
The beach is quite small and stony, so water shoes are recommended.
In high season, it can get very crowded from late morning onwards.
Besides swimming in the healing water, there is a small cave on the left of the beach, which is easily accessible on foot.
