FIND YOUR BASE

Where should you stay?

A city stay and a base beside a cove offer two different holidays. Choose a small property if you plan to spend your time on excursions, or a hotel with more facilities for long breaks. Compare distances to the beach, restaurants and transport before choosing based on a photograph of the view.
