★★★★★a month agoAbsolutely beautiful place went for a nice swim , the stairs down were tricky and going back up was extremely tough , make sure to wear good trainers , it’s worth the walk though

★★★★★2 months agoLovely place to visit and try out the seafood. I would recommend to park on the parking lot and take the golf cart downstairs (included in the 10 euro parking fee).
