The beach near our hotel is stunningly beautiful, with clear waters and a clean shoreline. However, it's important to wear swim rubber shoes to protect your feet from the small stones as you enter the sea. The only issue we encountered were the garbage bins nearby which emitted a foul smell during windy days.
