Take it easy
It’s all about that go-slow Greek way of life in this charming village. Start your morning with a fresh coffee in a welcoming taverna then stroll the streets, stopping off at the mini markets along the way. With the sun beaming down on you, it’s total bliss.
Head to the capital

Whitewashed houses cling to the cliffside, and the sea views are outstanding – not to mention the sensational sunsets!
