Sun protection: In summer, the narrow stone streets can heat up and the sun on the peninsula can be very strong. Bring a hat and sun cream.
- Geo-tip: Bring a little change for unique local crafts and handmade lace, found only in the Old Town alleys.
- Geo-tip: Be sure to visit St. Stephen’s Church—it is the only remaining church with intact frescoes.
