Picturesque marbled streets, a yacht-filled port, and a smattering of restaurants, shops, and tavernas keep the island’s tourist-heavy capital hopping throughout the summer.
Alefkandra (Little Venice)
This neighborhood earns its name from the Venetian-style houses with colorful balconies lining the ocean’s edge. You’ll also find an array of galleries, restaurants, bars, and clubs.
Kato Myli
Sandwiched between Alefkandra and Niochori, south of Chora, a trip to this iconic site is a must for its 7 seaward-facing windmills, picture-perfect vistas and gorgeous sunsets.
Ano Mera
This tiny hamlet has a slower, siesta-style vibe. See the 16th-century Monastery of Panagia Tourliani, with its marble bell tower and Byzantine castle remains at the Monastery of Paleokastro.
