The hotel I'd reserved was about ten km down the island to the right I loved this place... so laid back, cool ocean breeze, sand everywhere. The ten km ride was no problem at all — the island is flatflatflat. |

More evidence of the tourist office lady's wisdom: locals living on the Lido leave their bikes at the dock when they go to work in the city. I guess they have some way of finding them too, when they come home in the evening.
With the island
being so flat, everyone on the Lido travells by bike. |
