Arrive Early for Photos
Ask to be among the first off the ship or time the tour to avoid the busiest midday crowds in Chora and at the windmills.
Wear Sturdy Shoes
Cobblestone alleys and short walks across uneven ground make closed‑toe, grippy shoes a smart choice.
Protect Against the Sun
Meltemi winds don’t stop UV; bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a brimmed hat for exposed viewpoints like Armenistis.
Keep Time for the Ship
Allow extra time to return to the pier—port boarding windows are strict and delays can be costly.
Comfortable walking shoes
