Highlights of the Place:
The sea organ, the only one in the world, is constructed in such a way that it turns the energy of the sea and waves into sounds through a special system of tubes. The sea is a composer and interpreter and its concert is a unique and every time different story created by winds, waves, ebb and flow. The selection of sounds and cords is based on the songs of traditional men’s choirs. During some winds the organ produces sounds similar to the songs of traditional men’s choirs, during others the sounds resemble those of large bells and when the waves do not hit the coast, but gently touch it, the organ produces long sound intervals.
