"This breathtaking beach is a natural wonder that will leave you in awe. It's a public beach with a rocky terrain, but don't worry - there are plenty of sunbeds available for hire. If you're looking for a bit more space, be sure to grab a sunbed. The prices are incredibly affordable, so you won't have to break the bank.
