"The beach is absolutely stunning and it was an incredible experience to swim alongside a turtle. 😍"

Aria Santoro

"This beach is quite well-known in this part of town, mainly because it's a great spot to see turtles. As a result, it can get quite crowded in the mornings, similar to the beaches in Benidorm, Spain. Even though we arrived at 09:20, we had to park our car 500m away and struggled to find a spot to lay our towels due to the number of families with children. However, after 11:3..."
