Tastes of the sea

The aromas of grilled fish and shellfish haunt the breeze along the beach, beckoning you to the hospitable tables of the local tavernas.

Frescoes and Medieval castles

This tranquil and picturesque town is home to one of the most recognisable sights in the region, the restored stone bridge in the centre of the town.

Further outside the village visitors will find the ruins of a Medieval castle.
