Creator's Key Takeaways
It took us 25 minutes. It was lovely. And it was a nice walk, but I would say to people if they're coming here and want to do that walk that you need to be reasonably agile cuz it you do go up steep steep steps.
Fish are very evident when you get in. Freaked me out a little bit, but they do move when you get closer to them.
This is they definitely uh cater for tourism here. So along the front there's lots of accommodation, probably restaurants, little villas and things.
Get a taxi.
