TO DO

Bouboulina Museum - Laskarina Bouboulina was a truly extraordinary figure – a wealthy female shipowner who played a pivotal and active role in the Greek War of Independence. The museum offers a fascinating glimpse into her life, her courage, and her contributions to the fight for Greek freedom.

Paradise Beach - One of the island’s few developed beaches, it’s the perfect place to spend a relaxing day in the sand.

We enjoyed shopping in the main town, where you can find anything from fine jewelry to sandals, Greek designers and more.
