Most of the castles are fairly easily accessible except for the optional tour to BUFFAVENTO CASTLE. Perched high on a mountainside, this incredible castle is a must.
To enjoy this remarkable tour you do need to be able to walk up winding paths and uneven steps. For those travelling in autumn there is warm sea swimming and in spring lovely wild flowers.
