About
Quick facts: The harbor is home to dozens of vintage yachts and fishing boats, creating the atmosphere of a true seaside village. Every year more than 100,000 tourists come here to enjoy the sea air and fresh seafood right off the pier.
Highlights: The central promenade offers a stunning view of the bay across old wooden piers about 500 meters long, and one cafe right on the water serves dishes made from fresh catch caught the same morning. The cries of seagulls blend with the splash of waves to create a unique symphony of nature and city life.
Insider tips
- Bring a light windbreaker, especially in the evening when the air can be cool.
- The best spot for photos is the end of the main pier overlooking the bay.
- Avoid weekends after 2 p.m. to skip the busiest hours.
- Don't miss the Friday morning fish market for unique photos and fresh fish shopping.
