You step off the minibus and the cliffline breathes salt and stone — the cable car hums up the headland, lifting you past terraced orange groves to a panoramic terrace that pins the Mediterranean into a bright, restless sheet. Below, the Red Tower stands compact and red, watching the harbor where boats bob like answering cards.
