More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You meet your photographer where the cobbled streets begin to tilt toward the towers: wind pushing at the flags, stone stairs worn smooth by centuries of footsteps. The photographer guides you through narrow alleys and open terraces, finding the hour when light softens the fortress walls and the Adriatic ribbon beyond seems to glow.
