You push off from the harbor and the town opens up slow and clean: cobbled Lithostroto, church bells, and a seafront that keeps pulling you toward the De Bosset Bridge. The ride moves at an easy pace — city-style bikes, predictable streets, and salt-scented air that dares you to slow down and look.
