The historical walled old town lays on the water’s edge and is a maze of pretty cobbled streets, beautiful buildings, monuments and the views from the walls themselves are breath-taking.

Vicko: We decided to open Milk at the end of the last summer season. As me being a member of the LGBTQ community, I knew how important it would be to create a safe space for us.
