This island is a hidden gem, boasting European standards that set it apart from the typical Asian islands. Impeccably clean and well-maintained, it offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of popular tourist destinations. The island's small size ensures a serene atmosphere and a lack of overcrowding, with only well-mannered visitors in sight. The abundance of small shops and restaurants, along with pristine beaches, make for a delightful vacation experience. While getting here may require a few extra stops, the island's tranquil beauty is well worth the journey.

The bay holds a stunning beach and scenery. The water is placid, and schools of fish are visible near the shore.

This beach is certainly one of the top options on the island! Despite the cloudy sky, the water shimmered with a brilliant blue hue. The best part? It wasn't too crowded during our visit. However, it's worth noting that the waves were a bit higher than usual.

The beach is amazing, but the conditions around the island have been rough this year, making it a bit challenging for children. Adults should also exercise caution when entering the water. Nonetheless, the beaches are truly stunning.

The beach is a great spot for families and surfers, with a nice, long stretch of golden, fine sand. It's not too crowded, and there's even a nudist section at the far end.
