An historical harbour which still retains a historical feeling. Lots of old boats around offering trips to neighbouring islands.

Took some photos here.it was midday and things weren't very busy, which meant I was pretty obvious, and I felt self conscious about it. But some of the fisherfolk smiled and waved or said hello. Classic boat shapes. Hard working people.

This might be worth a quick look if you happen to be in the area and you like wooden boats. The harbour itself is really not that impressive, but you can get some quite nice photos of the various wooden boats berthed in the harbour....More

It us an traditional old harbour for "Phinisi" ship (a traditional ship og Buginesse) there is also seafood restaurant with a traditional recipe of Buginesse.

Nice to wander around and see the activity. It can be pretty dirty, so be prepared Great to see the big boats, fish landing, live reef fish going to the next trader
