Such a pretty walk. Great views at sunset too.
There's no shade on the walk and it can get hot - recommend taking a bottle of water, sunscreen and maybe a hat too, if you have one.
There is a good spa at the end of the walk called Karsa.
You might want to get a taxi back or, if you walk back, then it might be best to take a torch if you plan to head back after sunset (between 6.30 and 7pm ish).
