User reviews
"My initial dip in the Mediterranean was nothing short of disappointing. The water was far too cold and the waves were too choppy to enjoy. The beach was crowded and unappealing, with little to no amenities. All in all, it was a forgettable experience."
Kelani
"The sparkling sea, immaculate beach, and charming cafes with great prices - what more could you want? A perfect spot for a day of relaxation and fun!"
