A small "picture book" Dirf built in terraces. Very nicely done. You should have some fitness for the stairs.

Cycling

Try to be there as early as possible. Tourists crowds are insane. Road is extremely steep and narrow with many rental cars warriors looking to kill you. Scenery is mesmerizing so take a break and enjoy
