A pretty port with quiet pebbly beaches where the water is clear and clean. Many great tavernas with fresh fish and local delicious food.

A relay friendly relaxed port town with great dinning options. This is not a lively place (loud music etc) which suites me just fine. I will be returning.

Lovely town which despite tourism has still retained its Greek charm. Lots to keep you busy and good transport links. Will return again soon.
