Tourists are sure that it is best to relax on the gray beaches, as it is believed that there are more healing substances.
But there are enough beaches with white and yellow sand on the island. Most of them were made artificially to attract tourists. But there are also those places on the coast where emissions from the volcano did not reach.
The nature of the island is diverse and beautiful. And when you can’t swim in the ocean, then tourists are happy to go on excursions to the mountains, to the forests. They climb snow-covered mountain tops, come close to craters and view the ocean from special viewing platforms that are above the water level.
Most of the hotels are located right on the ocean, and some hang from the mountains and hang over the water. In the morning you will be awakened by the sound of the waves, and in the evening you will fall asleep to the singing of seagulls and the singing of water in the ocean.
