Visiting here now puts one in mind of the heyday of the typical English seaside resort. It’s the tiny patch of beach next to the harbour that all the locals crowd together on (there’s ample beach further afield); it’s the promenade along which everyone walks eyeing each other up and down; above all it’s the ‘comical characters’ painted on boards that have holes for you to stick your head through and have your photo taken. On a fine day, though, it’s all very pleasant, with the sun, the sea air and a harbour sporting some fine looking boats; it has a pervasive air of enjoyment that can’t fail to put you in a good mood.

Just head down towards the harbour

This much photographed ‘mini castle’ takes its name from the original small wooden dacha that clung to the cliff side in the 19th-century. A German oil baron bought the site and constructed the castle as a ‘love nest’ for his mistress. It was rebuilt in the 1970s and now functions as an Italian restaurant and tourist icon, sitting on the top and right on the edge of the vertiginous rocks
