elsadran Says: Frikes is small fishing village built in a picturesque bay, in the northeastern part of the island, just 13 klm from Vathy. It carries a lot of history as it may have been the port referred in Homer as the port of Reithron. It is a romantic small port on the road from Kioni...
elsadran Says: This nice restaurant is in the capital town of Vathy. You can have a very nice meal, breakfast, lunch or dinner, enjoying beautiful views of the town. It is on the seaside facing the town so the views are nice all day long. You can sit on the tables by the water or in the...
SirRichard Says: This early morning ferry to Patras is my favourite (there is another one at 16:00), as you can have from it a wonderful view of the island's coasts at sunrise. You have to get up early, OK, but the show is really (for me) worth the effort. The ferry stops at Sami...

SirRichard Says: Gidaki Beach is a nice daytrip once you are in Vathy. There is a boat that takes you there in the morning and picks you up in the afternoon.It is a pebbles beach with a little hut bar, where you can have lunch. And there is nothing else, none else but the people that come...
SirRichard Says: Vathy spreads from the harbour to the hills around. The main streets and nearly all the tourist activity runs around the main square that is by the harbour.But if you happen to rent a room in a house that is up the hill, you'll have to climb up and down the stairs a few...
