Clear turquoise water gently laps a stony beach that invites you to take a cool swim inside it. The streets are charming with colorful houses, their bright colors enhanced by the fragrant blooming owers that overow from the window boxes. As you keep walking around, you will see a massive medieval castle on top of a hill that previews the city’s glorious past.
