You can wander around town, drive in the woods, through olive groves.
Small streets, square houses with European-style homogenous architecture with white walls and red roofs, are lined up side by side, spreading from the top of the hill to the bottom of the hill, facing the sea. The town lies quietly leaning on the vast beach, showing peace and tranquility in front of nature, a scene that makes people come to be stunned and do not want to leave.
