Raske fakta: Stone walls rise boldly alongside narrow cobbled alleys that zigzag up to where old watchtowers keep an eternal vigil. Sea views pop unexpectedly around every corner, mixing salty air with whispers of medieval legends.
Høydepunkter: Ancient fortress walls embrace whitewashed houses topped with bright terracotta tiles, creating a dramatic contrast against the deep blue Mediterranean Sea. The castle courtyard often buzzes with street performers, blending live music and local tales under open skies.
