BEACHES

If you prefer a trip to the beaches, they are all about a 10-15 minute drive or 60p bus ride away. A popular choice is Costa Merlata which has a series of rocky coves and lovely clear water for swimming. If you decide to take a taxi, at a cost of about Euro 15 each way, you can spend a day in the most exclusive beach area, Rosa Marina, where wealthy Italians have their summer villas. The public are not allowed to park there but taxis are allowed to drop you off and you can have lunch at the little beach restaurant. Another lovely beach a short car drive away is Bosco Verde shown in the pictures below.
