The port

The port

The port is located directly in the city. There is a small cruise terminal where local providers and a souvenir shop can be found. The prices in the shop are quite high since we only returned to the port just in time before everyone boarded again. We didn’t have the chance to find out if it would have been a little cheaper to buy the obligatory magnet in town. As a result, we ended up paying a proud 15 euros.

On foot

The harbor is located right in the town. It can be reached within a few minutes on foot.

Shuttle buses

Due to the proximity to the city, no shuttle buses will be provided.
