The food was good, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing. That said, getting there isn’t the easiest — especially without a car. You’ll likely need to arrange a transfer or take a taxi from the port or nearest town. It’s worth it once you arrive, but do plan ahead. A great spot if you’re looking for a quiet break by the sea."
