The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive.

"It's a quiet, not too crowded beach. The sea is beautiful, but the beach is very neglected."

"Reeds next to it.
That's why there are plenty of mosquitoes and frogs.
If you are going to stay in a summer house, be sure to have fly guards with you.
The sea is very beautiful, but it is April now and there are many jellyfish. According to what they said, they were guests here for 2 weeks. :)"
