Port Orientation

Transportion

There are buses and taxi are available.  But if you prefer to walk wear good walking shoes.  There are many steep hills and the streets are uneven.

 

Sightseeing

One of our favorite things is just wandering the streets of Old Town, checking out the colorful houses, soaking in the atmosphere, catching views and getting lost (you can't get all that lost anyway since this is a walled city).  While in Old Town check out the 14th-centrury Town Hall Square.  It has cafes, shops and unimaginable beauty.  Ther is a Flower Market on the edge of Old Town, a bus can drop you off there.

 

There are other sights to see if you have the time.
