Definitely worth the walk from Matala, but: flip flops are a bad choice for your feet, that's true! 25 min, as a nice "Matalan woman" told us, is not really true - at least not with flip flops 🤣... At the "Red Beach" there is a nudist area, but you can also use it with textiles. For the way back, it is advisable to drink a "Best Mojito from the World" (9.50 €), according to Jannis/Yannis. The way back is definitely easier, but not with flip flops 🤣... Have fun!

I would recommend sturdy shoes, although many of them also work in flip flops🤣😅
