Strong sun protection
The island has very little shade—bring a wide-brim hat, SPF 30+ sunscreen, and UV sunglasses.
Carry at least 1L of water
Tours involve steady walking on exposed terrain; hydrate before and during the visit to avoid heat fatigue.
Wear stable walking shoes
Uneven marble and packed-earth surfaces call for closed shoes with good traction rather than sandals.
Arrive early for better light and fewer crowds
Morning departures offer cooler temperatures and softer light for photos; late arrivals risk missing sections if on a schedule.
Closed-toe walking shoes
Protect your feet on irregular marble, steps, and packed-earth trails.
