Both showcasing excellent examples of traditional Greek architecture, expect to stroll winding streets, browse beautiful boutiques and stumble across a series of small and perfectly formed churches. With bustling cosmopolitan atmospheres, there is always something to see, do, and experience in these bustling seaside villages.

Famed for crystal clear waters, golden sandy beaches, concealed coves and unique rock formations, there’s a stretch of coastline with your name on it, regardless of how you prefer your beaches.

Beaches located on the south-eastern part of the island offer ideal windsurfing conditions, so if you’re eager to soak in views of the island from a slightly different perspective, you’re in for a treat. Perfect for beginners and experienced surfers alike, you won’t even need to don a wetsuit thanks to Greece’s warm Mediterranean sunshine.
