Quick tips<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \n

    Get up early in summer to park easily and enjoy fewer crowds.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Respect the walkways and the posidonia: it is the \u201cforest\u201d that keeps the water so clear.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Bring water shoes for rocky coves and cash for rural parking lots.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
