I'm really into the Middle Eastern vibe here. It feels cozy and homey.

So far, the main thing that strikes me is how expensive everything is (especially after Belgrade). You could brew three local coffees in Serbia for the price of one here. Cafes are about twice as expensive. Even street food doesn't really help. That said, everything tastes amazing.

I need to figure out the local rules. For example, there's a sign at the beach entrance that says "no swimming." And there are tons of these signs all along the coast. But right behind them there's a crowd of people swimming. Though maybe they're not actually swimming, just splashing around. Those kinds of details matter here :)
