It is abundant with traces of its rich history, having 33 chapels, 4 churches, 2 convents, remains of the Rector’s Palace, Spanish fortress and the local museum. With its crystal-clear sea and sandy beaches, lush Mediterranean vegetation and area with no traffic at all, it is a perfect gateway to rest and recover from stressful life dynamics of the 21st century. It is large enough to enable you to escape and enjoy the loneliness and silence, yet small enough to arrive to all locations on foot.
