Aftas Beach

Mirleft


Rocky cliffs frame the soft sand at this beach, popular with footballers and families. The predictable thatch huts and decrepit loungers are available, there are cafes to have a snack and if you can't tear yourself away you can rent a room at Aftas Beach House and fall asleep to the crashing waves.
