Genoese Fortress of Cembalo
Unsurprisingly, others discovered this wonderful cove before the British navy; the settlement is about 2500 years old and even mentioned in Homer's Odyssey as a pirate's den.

These are probably still under scaffolding, as there's an (overly?) ambitious plan to reconstruct the entire fortress.
