On the other side of the island from the pier, there is a tiny pebbly beach with crystal clear water and a multitude of fish. At night, the pier is lit up, thus creating a magical atmosphere perfect for romantic walks. Access to the island costs €5 and includes a free souvenir. Twice a week, the island offers happy hour events. For more information, visit the Events section.
