Scientists say that probably the remains are part of a famous fortress called Castrition.

This place is pretty wild. Nearby there are no major settlements, so wildlife flourishes here. It is not uncommon to see representatives of the so-called monk seal, which fish undisturbed by human presence in the clean coastal waters in the area. Sometimes you can notice also a pod of dolphins chasing schools of fish close to the shore.
