From the centrum follow the route to Eselek and then turn left and follow the steep concrete route up to the the firefighting tower. The tower is a two storybuilding on the hill that one can clearly see from the Centrum. The views are pretty spectacular from the peak, moreover one can see a portion of eastern shore of the island, that the route follows, from up there. Return to the paved road and head towards Eselek. Follow the road that turns left (north) after passing Eselek, and follow this gravel road all the way to Kuzulimani. There are some steep climbs along the way, but overall it is a pleasent ride. There are numerous beaches that are fun to swim by the road (some sand some pebble). After reaching Kuzulimani (the main port of the island) follow the road to the northern end of the port and follow the dirt road to cross the hill to reach the last cove of the day. There are some spectacular views from both the hill and the beach on the cove. From here return back to Kuzulimani and follow the main road back to Centrum.
