💡 Tips

Rent a small car or scooter to easily navigate the narrow coastal roads and reach secluded coves.
Bring water shoes, as many of the authentic, untouched beaches in this area are pebbly.
Local tavernas typically start serving dinner quite late; don't expect a full evening meal before 20:00.
Carry cash in small denominations, as some traditional family-run places may not accept credit cards.
Respect the Greek afternoon 'siesta' from around 15:00 to 17:00 when the village is at its quietest.
