Note: If you are staying at a hotel or villa on a mountain, we can only pick you up on the main road. This is for your safety, as our transfer vehicles are standard cars and vans, not 4x4s.

Spend your time here relaxing on the pristine beach, swimming in the calm, clear waters, or taking unforgettable photos with the island's famous pigs.
