Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to reach the sea since the last stretch, immediately after the last houses, has collapsed and almost no trace of the steps remains. Rightly it was cordoned off. However, it remains a fantastic place and the view is beautiful: in the descent it seems to throw oneself directly into the sea, while the climb is hard. In any case, it is necessary to pay close attention to the 1,100 steps of very variable height and without protection.

Unique place, can only be reached on foot along a beautiful and very tiring staircase.

It's really fascinating how these houses seem to be stuck directly to the rocks above the sea. Some of the 1000 steps are so steep that you feel like you're climbing up a wall. Definitely only for those with a head for heights!
