Pausing here, you can dive into the cool waters for a swim, embracing the gentle caress of the sea. The pure seascape paired with the magnificent cliffs makes it a perfect spot to relax and capture stunning photos.

We've reserved a full 3 hours of free exploration time for you to leisurely discover the island. Wander through the quaint cobblestone alleys and feel the serene cultural ambience of the island; step into a seaside taverna to savour freshly caught local seafood, immersing yourself in Mediterranean flavours; or head back to the shore to play and swim in the pristine waters, enjoying your own slice of island leisure.
