This attractive cala reminded us of a Scottish sea loch like Plockton. In one evening we saw a Booted Eagle, Ravens and small falcon that might have been a Lesser Kestrel. No wonder the anchorage note in the Pilot book says good for bird watching. However some of the charm of the place evaporated when we went ashore. Too many disgruntled ex-pat Brits and locals tired after a long season. This is not a living community, but a dead holiday resort, in a beautiful and totally protected cala.
