These places do not have any facilities, but bring you relaxation away from civilisation.As some of the beaches don't have any places to eat, bring some refreshments and snacks with you. Don't forget towels and sand rugs, as well as the sun umbrella that will protect you from burning (you may purchase the latter for less than 7 Euros).
