How to spend your leisure time?
For numerous tourists, we tried to equip the beaches with the highest quality possible. They are distinguished not only by their cleanliness, but also by their comfortable descent to the sea, the presence of umbrellas and sun loungers. The coastal area is wide enough to accommodate all comers, there is a wild beach a little to the north from the village.

During the day, when the beach is too hot, you can stroll through the market or shops, where there is something to choose not only from souvenirs. They bring cheap clothes from Italy, but it is famous for its high quality.

Reviews
It should be understood that the resort in the summer and the rest of the year are two completely different places. At the very peak on the beach there is no place to find, it becomes very dirty, even though the locals try to clean it often. Good-Water is a good option for early spring or even autumn, when the flow of tourists decreases, but the temperature still allows you to relax with benefit for yourself.
In winter, everything dies out here, excursion programs almost all close, as well as numerous hotels. This is exactly the time when the active construction of new residential complexes begins, so it’s impossible to be completely quiet.
