About
Quick facts: The harbor is home to dozens of old yachts and fishing boats, creating the atmosphere of a genuine maritime village. More than 100,000 tourists visit annually to enjoy the sea air and seafood right off the pier.
Highlights: The central waterfront offers an amazing view of the bay through old wooden piers about 500 meters long. One cafe right on the water serves dishes made from the morning's fresh catch. The cries of seagulls mixed with the splash of waves 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.
