Beautiful and relaxing place, be sure to check out the lighthouse! Lots of friendly people there. We got totally tourist trapped by the prices of a restaurant! Be sure to check prices beforehand

This is a great place if you enjoy quiet, ancient places that managed to retain their original charm. As pointed out by the (local) tour guide, some of the properties in the historic city are sold to foreign investors, therefore they are poorly maintained.
