Explore a centuries-old fortress and the surrounding old quarter with a private historian who brings the port's past to life.
What to expect
Your historian-guide meets you at the fortress gates and leads you through fortifications, secret passageways, and lookout points, some closed to general admission. Along the way, you walk through the adjoining old quarter, hearing stories of sieges, trade, and daily life across centuries. The pace is unhurried, with time for questions and photographs.
Good to know
Reserve in advance for restricted-area access, which requires advance clearance. Comfortable walking shoes recommended; tour ends near the port shuttle stop.
