Disappointing

I've been wanting visit this site for years and finally did so in September on a lovely sunny day. We arrived around 3pm and stayed a couple of hours, the village is interesting and the views amazing but I have to say I was disappointed for a couple of reasons. First the village looked shabby, the buildings could do with a lick of paint and some for structures are in need of repair. Secondly, the cafes and eateries were unappealing, I only wanted an ice cream and was told I was too late, so made do with an average coffee. walked to the beach and admired the views but after an hour or so I was ready to leave. The gift shop was also rather dull. All in all a rather underwhelming experience.
Perfectly pretty

What a beautiful place to visit. I have walking problems and use crutches so I was a little anxious at first as it is all on a hill with lots of cobbles but I had no real issues, there are plenty of seating options placed around the village and most hade great views too. We were lucky enough to be there on a sunny day and that combined with the location made for a real sun trap… it not only looked Mediterranean but felt it too.
