About

Go to the beach, take a stroll on the beach promenade, work on your sun tan and swim in the crystal clear Mediteranian sea. For the active people put on your hiking boots or your mountain bike and explore the hilly areas behind Kestel. You can also cycle from Kestel to the east through to Kargicak and the west as far as the New Yacht Marina, nearly all on a level, designated cycle track.

Also the Dim cave is located not too far from Kestel.
