If you want to wander around an old (but not ancient) development -- unpaved road; residents may not have the resources for air-condition and modern niceties, this place will satisfy your curiosity. There's not a lot of cars / traffic -- if that's what 'old town' is all about. Other than that, I personally don't any stand-outs. More

Rented a car at port and drove around the island and here. Don't go for the ruin as is is not particularly spectacular.
