Dance Information

The sandy beach stretches for 500m and the waters are clean enough for the beach to have been awarded blue flag designation. The beach, which runs the length of its own cove, takes its name from the fig trees located close to the coast. In 2011, TripAdvisor declared it to be the third best beach in Europe.
