Beautiful church in the middle of the water ⛪️
The Assumption of Maria Church is located on an island in the middle of the water. Built in the late 17th century, it is decorated with Gothic frescoes. It has a tall tower and 99 Baroque stone steps leading up to the building. According to tradition, it is considered good luck for the groom to carry his bride up the stairs on the wedding day to ring the bell for blessings in the church. There are cafes and souvenir shops on the island.
There are three ways to get to this church: take a ferry, row a boat, or swim across. We chose to row a boat. Let me tell you, it's not easy. Luckily, I had a male friend with me, otherwise I wouldn't have made it.
