Nissi Beach TIPS – Watch Out for Limestone Rocks

Although crowded, Nissi Beach impresses with its unusual combination of turquoise water and golden light reflecting off the rocks. The rocks on this coastline are limestone, belonging to the Pakhna Formation from the Miocene epoch and were formed from ancient marine sediments, mainly from reef environments. Their characteristic, sharp structure is the result of prolonged erosion by waves and wind, which shaped the natural “brine pools” and rocky forms visible today on the islet and along the shore. It is worth remembering that these limestone rocks are very sharp, so when walking on the islet or posing for photos, especially at dusk, it is easy to get cut.
