Creator's Key Takeaways

And it really is a beautiful port. Definitely worth getting off at.

You don't want to be getting there all sweaty and stressed out. So, I would recommend getting the sea bus, which is just a water taxi.

When you find a street that's quiet, walk away from the crowds. And what tends to happen is you're going to Mykonos and I'll show you on the map.

You genuinely have got to eat to sit on the seafront. All along the seafront, you've got cafes, bars, tavernas.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take the sea bus (water taxi) from the new port to the old port to avoid a long walk and heat.
Pay for the sea bus in cash (€2.50 per person each way).
To avoid crowds, walk away from the Little Venice area and head into the middle of town through the quiet, crooked streets.
Save the port area for last so you can shop and eat without carrying bags.
Always ask to see a menu first to check prices before ordering at tavernas.
Visit the church on the hill (Agios Ioannis) for a peaceful view and great photos.
