Portu 'Ntoni

The serene beach boasts tranquil and picturesque waters that are sure to soothe your soul. It is a secluded haven that offers a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The beach was a delightful experience for us during our two-day stay. On the first evening, we indulged in a scrumptious dinner accompanied by a bottle of brut cricket and a platter of raw prawns, scampi, and marinades, all for just €60 for two. The beach offered picturesque views and was easily accessible. The staff, who were young and friendly, added to the overall pleasant atmosphere. In the evening, we were treated to some great music that kept us entertained.

The beach may be small, but it has a charm that is hard to resist. I opted for a side umbrella with two sunbeds on the rocks, which cost me €30. However, the restaurant was quite expensive, and the options were limited. I ordered an appetizer, two first courses, a green salad, two beers, water, and coffee, which amounted to €88 (excluding tax receipt). The first courses, namely spaghetti with clams, were disappointingly small, and the appetizer, caponata, was not up to my expectations. Adding to my disappointment was the rude behavior of the owner. I requested him to intervene on a camp of clubs that had installed a loudspeaker with loud music next to the beds. However, he refused to take responsibility and asked me to call the carabinieri. Overall, the beach was lovely, but the restaurant and owner's behavior left much to be desired.

Referring to the eatery, not the seaside, I must say that I am quite fond of the latter. However, I find the prices to be exorbitant, especially considering the meager portions. I recall reading a review where someone raved about the Tunisian octopus, but when I ordered it myself for a hefty 15 euros, I was sorely disappointed by the minuscule serving size. While I understand the need to turn a profit, the prices here seem to border on deceitful. I regret not having the courage to speak up about this issue.

Nestled beside Cala Croce lies a petite cove, accompanied by a charming establishment. The cliff above the bar offers a breathtaking vista to savor while you sip on a refreshing beverage. The bar at the beachfront served me a delectable, generous portion of a freshly made fruit smoothie, crafted by a delightful young lady.
