Getting There and When to Go

When it comes to dining, you can expect the classic Greek holiday experience. Expect fresh seafood, locally grown produce, and tavernas that serve hearty, authentic dishes. Many holidaymakers choose to keep things simple, enjoying long, relaxed meals as the sun sets over the bay.

If you enjoy a bit of activity, the region is excellent for water sports. Whether you prefer a quiet paddle in a kayak or something slightly more energetic, the calm waters of the bay are a perfect playground.
