This area is home to the salt mining caves, and you will learn about the island’s salt mining history and how this process has shaped the local economy. The village offers a great opportunity to immerse yourself in local culture, as your guide shares interesting facts about daily life and the community's connection to the island’s salt-producing industry.

Along the way, you will also have the chance to explore other scenic spots on the island.
