Frequently Asked Questions

At Adamas, the port village. Ships anchor in the bay, one of the largest in the Mediterranean, and tenders drop passengers in the heart of the village, right on the main square.
From the square, buses and taxis serve Plaka, Trypiti and Sarakiniko in season, with timetables posted on site. Taxis are few: agree on your return trip when you set out.
Sarakiniko first, then Plaka and its kastro, or else the ancient theatre and catacombs at Trypiti. The three areas are close together, but you must choose: full improvisation sits badly with bus timetables.
White volcanic rock polished by wind and waves a few kilometres north of Adamas, carved into frozen waves that plunge into turquoise water. You walk it barefoot as if on a warm glacier and swim in the narrow inlets.
In a field near Trypiti in 1820; a plaque marks the spot. The statue is now in the Louvre. The ancient marble theatre and the early Christian catacombs, among the oldest in Greece, are right beside it.
Only if the ship's schedule is generous: the boat trip to these sea caves, a former pirate hideout, takes up almost a full day. Book it knowing that.
A hat, water and decent shoes. Shade is scarce outside the villages, and the smooth surfaces at Sarakiniko turn slippery on windy days.
Yes, enough to fill the end of the day: a mining museum covering the obsidian and perlite worked here for millennia, craft shops and taverns where octopus dries in the sun outside the kitchens.
The euro and Greek, with English widely understood. Cards work in Adamas and Plaka; keep cash for taxis and small country taverns.
May through October. May, June and September offer the best balance: the sea is good, buses run and the heat stays bearable on the white rocks, which reflect fiercely in high summer.
