O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Stube do pustinje broje 237 stepenica uklesanih u vulkansku stijenu, a legenda kaže da tri puta zazvoniti zvonom na vrhu ispunjava želju. Ova mala otočna crkva izdržala je oluje i gusarske napade još od 10. stoljeća, dok današnja građevina potječe iz 14. stoljeća.
Istaknuto: Na posljednjem zavoju stubišta otvara vam se pogled na uski kopneni most koji poput zmajevog grebena povezuje kopno s hridinastim otočićem. Lokalno vjerovanje kaže da ako stignete do vrha ne ispuštajući ruku svog suputnika, vaše će prijateljstvo trajati zauvijek.
Insajderski savjeti
- Wear shoes with good grip, the stone steps can be slippery from fog and sea breeze.
- The best photos are taken from the viewpoint at the start of the trail, where you can see the entire spiral of stairs.
- The helicopter landing platform from the series Game of Thrones is now closed, but the views from it were spectacular.
- Check the weather forecast, the road can be closed by authorities during strong winds.
