    Really good! But to reach the pier, there's a bridge under construction. So you need more time to walk around to reach it Pear 18..10 min more at least. Be aware of that. Fabulous!!!

    Due to a traffic jam on arrival, we arrived too late for the departure of the ship and were able to use the next ship without any problems. The trip was very nice and interesting. Good hospitality on board and explanation of the tourist highlights.
