However, her modest size does not detract from her beauty. Centuries-old pines grow everywhere here, in the branches of which lively birds chirp in every way. There are no multi-storey buildings in the hotel, only cozy cottages, which are pretty two-story houses with multi-colored walls generously twined with ivy garlands.

Beach
The Kemer Holiday Club has its own beach. We can say that it is a continuation of the hotel territory, some cottages are located so close to it. The beach cover is sandy, with small pebbles. There are always enough sunbeds to satisfy everyone. The sea on this piece of the sea coast is the cleanest, the entry into it is smooth, but at the bottom there are slippery stones that hurt the legs. Therefore, special shoes are needed here. The beach is notable for the fact that a pier was built on it and chalets were installed, adding romance to the rest. Chalets are paid, the price depends on the season.
On the beach you can lie quietly and sunbathe, or you can actively have fun. To do this, there are a lot of attractions - a banana, jet skis, catamarans, canoes. If you wish, you can even fly with a parachute, go water skiing, and if you're lucky with the weather, go windsurfing under the guidance of experienced trainers.
Climatic conditions in the Goynuk area are excellent. Since April, similar warm days have been set here, the sun generously shines, gradually warming up the land and sea. At this time, the whole village is immersed in the aromas of flowering orange orchards. These gentle exciting smells give the rest a special romantic coloring. However, it is still cool in the evenings at the beginning of the tourist season, so a warm blouse or sweater will not hurt. The hotel guests will be able to swim in the sea only from June, when the water warms up to acceptabletemperatures + 20-22 degrees. By August it becomes even warmer, about +24-25 degrees, and stays at these levels until mid-September, and then the sea gradually cools down. The beach season here ends in October.
