Go slow

There’s an off-the-beaten-track vibe here in Kokkini Hani, so if a gentle pace is up your street, you’re in luck. Lounge on a sun bed along this tempting shore – it’s all pebbled plots for idyllic strolls. Wander into town and you’ll be encased in a tangle of monasteries, historic buildings and museums.

The full picture

Day-long trips, bargain-bagging and sampling local cuisine are all musts. Journey to nearby aquariums and waterparks if you want a spoonful of fun for all ages, and don’t forget to sort yourself out with souvenirs in the little shops. It goes without saying that trying tasty treats is essential, too.
