The apartment is situated in the prime position overlooking lush green palm-skirted gardens and near two purpose-built covered markets which daily offer an impressive variety of fish, meat, fruit and vegetables at bargain prices. Behind the apartment, fascinating narrow streets with a Moorish flavour take you quickly into the busy shopping area and a large variety of very reasonably-priced restaurants. There is night life and even a small opera house putting on a wide variety of entertainment. Frequent ferries and water taxis are just across the road to take you to the three islands of Armona, Culatra and Farol, where there are charming traditional fishing communities, more restaurants, and fabulous safe and soft sandy beaches stretching for miles. Much of the area is a nature reserve full of all kinds of sea birds and other creatures in a wonderfully tranquil and unspoiled setting. There are fantastic golf courses nearby and waterparks, ZooMarine and go-karting within 45 min drive.
