Before noontime there <strong>is</strong> nothing pleasurable than a dive in the crystal waters<br />
of Herson<strong>is</strong>sos beaches and a relaxing afternoon nap over the golden sand,<br />
but don't forget the beach umbrella and regularly put sunscreen! Take a good<br />
care of your skin during daytime and avoid the sunburn in the hottest hours<br />
of the day! Enjoy water sports and other extreme activities that you adore<br />
and don't be afraid to turn your world upside down with a bungy jump! Also<br />
try the new Jet Boat with your friends: we assure you- the fun <strong>is</strong> double!<br />
In the afternoon while the ladies are having their evening hair styling look<br />
at 'Rinnovo' coiffure, gents can reserve a table in 'Lascala' restaurant, or<br />
enjoy a live Jazz night at 'Coast Med' restaurant. Both choices will give<br />
you the opportunity to taste delicious d<strong>is</strong>hes in gourmet style. For those<br />
who have specific and certain eating demands, we suggest 'Just Arby'<br />
