Overview

Insider tips

Continue walking slightly past the main terrace to find secondary, less crowded viewpoints along the coastal path.

Wear footwear suitable for walking on uneven cobblestones, as the path from the town center involves a slight incline.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to climb down the cliff face from the terrace; the terrain is unstable and unauthorized.
