More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the ship into a bright, wind-scoured harbor where blue shutters flash against white walls and the Aegean breathes salt into the alleys. The first hour is a city walk through Chora: Little Venice's balconies hang over the water, stone windmills perch on the ridge, and Paraportiani’s irregular white volumes invite a closer look. Cameras click; the town’s lanes funnel you from sunlit squares into narrow, cobbled passages lined with local shops.
