It’s situated on an peninsula with a castle overlooking the delightful bay. Approaching from above the view is beautiful and the village on arrival is no disappointment. There are pink and white blooms everywhere as you walk down from the smallish carpark to the centre. Here there are a number of restaurants. The bay sits nearby. It is not very large and covered in grayish pebbles. The houses in the village are a variety of colours with pale yellow and blue the most picturesque. The roofs are tiled in different shades of orange. Getting to the castle requires a very long walk among the light green olive trees. It is a hot journey and you eventually reach an archway. From here the ruins of the inner castle can be seen and you can walk along the ramparts enjoying the magnificent view of the village below. Aside from the entry arch and the outer wall the castle is pretty dilapidated. ...........................................................................................................................................
