Frequently Asked Questions
In the bay, with tenders landing near the causeway that links the rock to the mainland. From the landing, two hundred metres of causeway lead to the main gate of the walled town.
No, and that is the surprise. The town turns its back on the open sea: it is built on the southern flank of its rock, invisible until you pass through the gate. From the ship you see only a bare cliff.
No, no vehicles circulate inside. You walk through an angled tunnel cut into the ramparts, as everyone has since Byzantine times. It is one of the most striking moments a Greek port call can offer.
One to two hours for the lower town, plus about an hour and a half for the round trip to the upper town. The main street, its vaulted passages, the church of Christ Elkomenos and the former Ottoman mosque now a museum already fill a morning.
It is a real effort: about thirty minutes of paved switchbacks in full sun for nearly two hundred metres of ascent. At the top, the Byzantine church of Agia Sofia stands at the edge of the void and the reward justifies the climb, but start early on hot days.
Good shoes, without question. Polished cobbles, stairs and slopes make up the entire route, lower town and upper. Bring water too: there is no shade up high.
Yes, the sea walls offer an easier walk than the upper town, with access to a rocky swimming platform below. It is not a sandy beach, but the water is clear.
A sweet white wine exported across medieval Europe from these very quays, and which took its name from the town. Replanted vines in the region produce it again, and a few shops on the main street offer tastings.
Not really. The town is magnificent, but everything is done on foot over uneven, sloping cobbles. Visitors with limited mobility will find the lower town difficult and the upper town out of reach.
The euro and Greek, with English understood in the shops along the main street. Cards work in most places; a little cash is still handy for small stalls.
