As far as this wooded peninsula has long attracted these rich and famous people, it has become one of the most magnetic and expensive spots all over the world. Thus, numerous huge villas are hidden here within exotic private gardens. And private life of its inhabitants are protected by tall green fences. Luxury smells in the air, yet nothing is visible. The loop road embracing the small cape reveals only tightly shut lavish gates.
