Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Le scale per l'eremo salgono 237 gradini scavati nella roccia vulcanica, e la leggenda dice che suonare la campana tre volte in cima esaudisce un desiderio. Questa piccola chiesa sull'isola ha resistito a tempeste e incursioni piratesche dal X secolo, con l'edificio attuale che risale al XIV secolo.
Punti salienti: All'ultima curva della scala, la vista si apre su uno stretto ponte di terra che sembra una spina dorsale di drago che collega la terraferma a un'isola rocciosa frastagliata. La gente del posto crede che se raggiungi la vetta senza lasciare la mano del tuo compagno, la vostra amicizia durerà per sempre.
Consigli da insider
- 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.
