The main street (Papadiamandis) has lots of shops to browse and bars for entertainment. The waterfront is always busy and is split in two by the Bourtzi promontory. The Bourtzi has a medieval fort and in the summer hold open air concerts. To the one side is the Old Harbour with cafes and restaurants and in the evening you will find fish markets.
