Boating
The whole of the south coast is a Boating paradise, with enormous numbers of islets forming chains of archipelagos. Nearly all towns offer summer cruises, good guest harbour facilities and the opportunity to charter a boat so you can find your own uninhabited spot. Alternatively, you may just fancy messing about in a hired canoe or rowboat; this can be done almost everywhere.
