To travel from the shore to the town built on a rock, one has to climb a steep staircase. To arrive from one square to the another staircase, and to traverse from the main square to a narrow street - yet another staircase! A typical stone house in the old town's centre, just behind the Stomorine bellfry, is offset by stairs made of stone. The staircase, or skalinada, links the ambience of three stories; while the galleries open toward direct sunlight. This is Skalinada house, from the sea to the panoramic terrace via Skalinada.
