Itinerary

1. Topolia Gorge

   Exotic beaches with white sand and turquoise water, reminding of the Caribbean, are formed on either side of the peninsula. The sand is pinkish in many places, taking its colour from millions of crushed shells. Near the breaking point of the peninsula, the seawater does not exceed 1m in depth, creating a small lagoon, ideal for children. You can easily cross the lagoon in order to reach the opposite side of the peninsula while carrying your staff with you because the water is very shallow there. The eastern side of the beach, in front of the lagoon, is well organized and has the most people. There are umbrellas, showers, lifeguards, snack bars and changing rooms. Also, near the beach, there is a huge area for parking and, even further, a few rooms to let.
