... staring out at the sea, surrounded by rocky walls. If course, we had to run down and touch the icy Mediterranean for the first time. The biting wind whipped us like a thousand boxing blows, laced with a chill, but that didn't stop us from hiking up to the top off the cliffs for some phenomenal views. Along the way, we saw old pillboxes, forts and bomb craters from the wars, and climbed into some of them for a better look. It was truly amazing. From the outcrop at the end of the ...
