Why go
The pleasure here is in following the town's layers on foot. Begin at the small harbour and lighthouse, then move through lanes with arched doorways and stone details toward the Fortezza. Venetian street fabric and later Ottoman landmarks sit close together, so the city works well as an urban history stop rather than a single monument visit.
What to look for
- The Venetian harbour ends at an Egyptian lighthouse.
- Old town lanes preserve arches and stone staircases.
- The Fortezza rises above the historic centre.
Useful to know
- Allow time to wander between the harbour and Fortezza rather than aiming for one building alone.
- If you plan to enter the Fortezza, check its own admission and opening information separately.
