Bring cash, as most shops do not accept cards, and prepare for limited phone coverage. The small size makes it easy to walk everywhere.

Cultural Etiquette

The town is generally safe, but avoid poorly lit rural roads at night due to wildlife and stray dogs. Petty crime is rare but keep valuables secure.

Hidden Gems
