The promenade is well kept, the beaches are pleasant, and the views of the beachfront villas are stunning.

Tranquil and not overly populated during the off-season. It's a great spot to spend a day if you bring all the necessary items, since it doesn't have any beach bars or showers.

This spot is spotless and spacious, making it the perfect place to park your car. Renting a jet ski for 25 euros an hour is a great way to make the most of the experience; there are two guys who are there every day after 11am. It's an absolutely wonderful experience!
