resorts manmade. The lava sand is quite dark and is partly mixed
with small stones. Although the beach is nicely sheltered,
unfavourable wind directions and currents can make the beach
less suitable for small children.
Behind the beach you will find a
great pool complex. With its many different pools, water slides and other activities it is guaranteed fun for
all the family. The entrance fee is some 10 Euros, including sun
loungers. A perfect alternative to the beach.
