Sun protection is non-negotiable
Summer sun is intense on the island; bring SPF 30+, a hat, and sunglasses for the walking portions and beaches.
Wear slip-resistant shoes
Streets are cobbled and can be slippery—closed-toe walking shoes will make alleys and lighthouse approaches easier.
Hydrate between stops
Carry a refillable water bottle; bottled water is provided but having water on-hand keeps energy up during walks.
Plan the lighthouse at golden hour
Faros Armenistis is best late afternoon for softer light and fewer crowds—ask to shift the schedule if you prefer sunset.
Sturdy walking shoes
