Good to Know

The audio tour is designed for approximately 2 hours of exploration, though you can move at your own pace and pause whenever you wish. Download the app and all content before arriving, as mobile coverage on the island is limited. The tour works completely offline once downloaded. This is a self-guided experience using your smartphone and headphones - no live guide will meet you.

The tour covers narrow medieval streets and dramatic staircases, so wear comfortable walking shoes. You'll climb from the village level to the abbey at the summit, with multiple viewpoints along the ramparts and terraces. The experience cannot be cancelled or rescheduled once booked.
