A standout moment emerges as your group deciphers a riddle that sends you to the bustling docks, where the vibrant colors of fishing boats contrast beautifully with the azure sky. Here, the air is filled with the briny scent of the ocean, mingled with the sweet aroma of fresh-baked pastries wafting from nearby cafés.
