SOME ADVICE
As everywhere else, we must avoid ostentatious signs of wealth, especially at night.
- It is advisable to avoid walks on the beaches in town at nightfall or preferably be accompanied.
- For transport:
- Avoid using motorcycle taxis or only for short distances and ensure that your driver drives carefully
- Make sure the taxi is appropriately equipped as some drivers personally transform their cars into gas-powered vehicles.
- Prices are more than affordable. Do not hesitate to ask advice from your hotels for the taxi fares.
