8/10 Good
"in general we had a good vacation however the tourist guides at the beach were so disturbing and annoying. There were no one to control them and they were always wandering around the sunbeds and disturbing people especially with animals they carry. People especially children may be afraid of these kinds of animals. while swimming in the sea to see always unauthorized people wandering around my belongings made me so nervous and uncomfortable during my stay."
