  If you do the walk around the fort walls you can't help but come to this section. It is very interesting and some good photo opportunities as well.  more »

  The Fort is really nice. Grab a cold beer in town at the wine shop, open till 21. less than half of the price then in the bars in the fort (250rps vs 550). Put it in a bag and enjoy a beautiful low cost sunset ;)

  What a stunning location. Old architecture, sprawling views of the sea and a great place to catch sunsets. The long walking paths by the sea are a great way to see the place.
