These troglodyte houses, dug in the cliff facing the ocean, is a shelter for fishermen and allows them to stay for a few days at the edge of the ocean and fish and also keep their equipment and belongings by their side, then leave once a week to see their family in the village further. Beautiful natural landscapes. A tea break is nice.
