Water & Shore Quality

• Crystal Clear Water: The sea is frequently praised for being “crystal clear” and exceptionally clean, making it ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
• Surface Transition: The shore itself starts with small pebbles at the water’s edge, but visitors report that it quickly turns into a soft sandy bottom once you step into the water.
