Its territory is filled with many impressive archaeological findings from its ancient past; a past that for many centuries had been influenced by a number of settlers from many different civilizations.
Along the parameters of the coast, the long and sunny beaches eventually turn into gracious rocky bays.
The sea, abounding in fish, offers a depth filled with rare beauty.
