beautiful area for hiking and swimming

Hiking

It really is like the Caribbean. Access is via a 200m deep, steep staircase. The beach has a heart-shaped rock formation like the "James Bond Rock" in Thailand. Behind the beach flows a wide, ice-cold, green mountain stream, which you can use to get into the gorge behind it. This is also possible via a "palm forest" path. At the end there are clear swimming pools and a small waterfall. There is a small tavern and plenty of shady areas under palm trees. Definitely worth a visit, even when there are lots of visitors in summer.

Sunrise or golden hour in the late afternoon for warm, soft light sets the rock off wonderfully 🎬
