Be warned though, only locals and guests of the restaurant can drive down to the port and the walk is hard going for the unfit. From the car park it’s a 40-45 minute walk down, but likely around 60 minutes back up (unless you’re a seasoned hill walker, in which case Google’s estimates are probably more accurate). Do not attempt in...
