The park offers a network of hiking trails that wind through terraced vineyards, olive groves, and cliffs overlooking the sea. Visitors can experience breathtaking panoramic views, explore hidden coves, and immerse themselves in the unique cultural landscape shaped by centuries of human settlement.
