After checking into our hotel, we went here first to get an overview of the island. We weren't disappointed. The views are very good, and the signs on the railings helped tell us what we were looking at. It's pricey, but we thought it was worth it.

Although the ticket is pricey (8 euro), I was pleasantly surprised at the great views. If the day is clear and the line not long--which was the lucky combo we had--I would say do it.
