Transport details
Type: Private Transportation / Category: Other

* WHEELCHAIR is posible( because of my car, portable wheelchair or walker) but meant to stay in the "new village streets" next to medieval ( check pictures of terrain) Excursion: Vehicule could be my Audi 4 GTI 2012 or a rental one. Ask availability. For a bigger party also ask for rental. Walk and Hike: Once in the village, most of the exploring is on foot, with gentle walking in the main areas and more steep areas is an option too, since the village is famous for its charming streets, many of which are steep, paved with cobblestones, and feature stone stairs, as shown in the photos. For those who enjoy a more active adventure, the hike up the mountain offers a steeper, more challenging route with rewarding views. We can also choose to create our own path if you prefer.
