Build in ferry/tender buffer
Ferry arrivals and tendering can be delayed—arrive at least 45–60 minutes earlier than the tour start if you’re coming by sea.
Hydrate and carry a bottle
Bring a reusable water bottle; water and shade are limited at viewpoints and beaches.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses matter—wind and reflected sea intensify exposure, even on overcast days.

Wear comfortable shoes for cobbled lanes and a modest cover-up for the monastery visit in Ano Mera.
