It’s worth to say a few words about the unique nature of these places that has attracted poets and painters for many centuries. You can see rich forests and groves a few steps away from the coast; even large cities have picturesque parks, bright flower beds and alleys. Fans of ecotourism can go for a walk in the mountains; those fond of water activities can relax at any beach. In addition to natural beauty, travelers are attracted with relatively low prices for accommodation and service. Most local hotels are of mid-market level, but the quality of their service remains on top.
There is a huge number of provincial towns and villages along the coast, each of which has something to surprise their guests. Travelling around towns allows visiting the most interesting historical sites of these places, as well as olive and mandarin groves, verdant meadows and azure coasts.

Walking through the historic center you can see beautiful palaces, old squares and churches, as well as panoramic views of the surrounding area rising to one of the rocks.
