Nova Siri Scalo - all beaches

Africa

Welcome to this charming little resort, where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and soak up some much-needed serenity. The rooms are simply gorgeous - modern, comfortable and equipped with a top-notch air conditioning system to keep you cool as a cucumber. The restaurant is a bit on the quiet side, but the local, organic produce is a definite plus. As for entertainment, it's not exactly the Las Vegas strip, but it'll do the trick. And while the sea may be a bit of a hike, it's nothing a good pair of walking shoes can't handle. Overall, this place exudes tranquility - and who couldn't use a little more of that in their lives?

Let me share with you the pros and cons of my experience at the beach. The negatives: - Unfortunately, the water tends to get murky after 11am without any apparent reason. I suspect that the purifier might be overworked, discharging impurities into the sea. - Beware of jellyfish, especially when the water is cloudy. They are hard to spot and can be quite dangerous. - Wasps and mosquitoes can be a nuisance on the beach. - Public showers are scarce and located closer to the seafront than to the bathers. The positives: - The beach offers a variety of exercise equipment in excellent condition, the only ones I've seen during my stay on the Ionian Sea. - Children can enjoy games and electric scooters for rent. - There's a bicycle lane for those who prefer to pedal by the sea. - The waterfront boasts a vast space that hosts many events throughout the summer. - The resort has a lively atmosphere during the season. - You can choose between a pebble beach with a sandy bottom or a totally sandy beach, such as San Nicola beach. - The Vittoria bakery is a must-visit spot that serves delicious pizza by the slice. - Parking is ample and convenient. Overall, I would give this beach a six out of ten. If you found this review helpful, please consider leaving a like.
