ABOUT SARIGERME BEACH

Don't mix the Beach of Holiday Village Beach with the Public Beach.

Don't get me wrong, the Beach of Holiday Village and Hilton is not bad but the Public Beach is a lot better (nicest way of putting) .. I have to say that the Public Beach in comparasin to the one in front of the Holiday Village and Hilton is much cleaner, the sand is much lighter and gives you the feeling of being on an idyllic beach. srgrme2
