There is another unusual phenomenon here. In the fall, when the rains are continuous, many streams rush down in a continuous stream, but the strongest wind from below prevents them from falling into the sea, it twists the water jets and raises them up in the form of fountains. The stark, majestic beauty of the cliffs mesmerizes, the dizzying height of the rocks terrifies and beckons. According to unspoken statistics, people who are ready to settle scores with their lives come here. Local authorities, in order not to scare off tourists, write off such deaths to accidents.
