Creator's Key Takeaways

So, let us show you how to see the old town of Roads smarter.

Now, Roads was only our second port of call on the Greek leg of our Virgin Voyages Resilient Lady cruise.

It was a nice change to dock so close to the old town with everything within walking distance, which meant we could explore by foot at our own leisure without the need for a formal excursion.

And regardless of how much you're into the history, you cannot fail to be impressed by one of the best preserved medieval walled cities in Europe.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Explore the old town by foot at your own leisure without the need for a formal excursion.
โœ“Start from the furthest point from the ship and work your way back to avoid the heat.
โœ“Visit the clock tower for panoramic views and a place to rest with a drink.
