Mermaid Street

Mermaid Street Review

One of the town's original cobbled streets heads steeply from the top of the hill to the former harbor. Its name, according to local lore, came from the night a drunken sailor swore he heard a mermaid call him down to the sea. Take a stroll here to see the many ancient buildings that make it one of the town's most scenic streets. But be careful on your feet—the cobbles are uneven.
