One of the best hostels I've ever been to! I still think about it 2 years later, and recommend it to everyone I can. Great location and most of all: their activities are unforgettable. The tour up to the old fortress to have a BBQ in the sunset was just magic, and I met so many fun people. I wish I got to do the sunset boat trip aswell but it was all booked up. Don't miss this!
