The server became agitated and irritable when I did not comply with his demands. They charge whatever they want on the spot and their demeanor is not customer-focused. It is more like I am the boss, you must pay and do as I say! Sadly, we traveled 80 kilometers to reach this beach. Never again! You must pay 10-20 euros for sunbeds and a minimum of 10 euros per person, amounting to at least 30 euros for a family.
