The nuances of rest in Loo
According to tourists, a vacation in Loo in 2021 is suitable for everyone who does not pretend to be an excessive luxury. In addition to the water park, there are no other entertainments in the village. There are few walking areas.
Veronika D: "There is no infrastructure at all. There are almost no sidewalks in the village, and you have to walk right along the road from the very edge."
If you want to live in a quieter place, we recommend renting a house further from the beaches. There will be no noise, but you will have to walk uphill from the sea. To feel more comfortable in hotels, guesthouses and boathouses on the coast, choose rooms and rooms with plastic windows. There will be less noise from trains and discos.
Tourists do not recommend swimming near the mouth of the Loo River and near storm drains that flow into the sea. The water here is dirty and it is easy to get an infection.Take all the necessary medicines, especially medicines for intestinal disorders, with you. There are pharmacies in Loo, but prices are high there, and there are queues in the summer.
