Driving routes, distances and day-trip ideas nearby.
A ready week, day by day: highly rated places, lunches, tours and trips out of town. Ratings and opening hours come from Tripadvisor, distances are real driving distances.
An unhurried first day: the centre on foot, one landmark and a quiet dinner near where you're staying. Don't plan anything far — after travelling, getting your bearings matters more.
All day
A free day — the market, the waterfront, the next neighbourhood over.
Hotel check-in is usually from 2pm — if you arrive earlier, most places will store your luggage.
The fullest day: two or three key places back to back. Start early — queues build by midday at the popular ones, and the light is better for photographs after lunch.

Awesome food, live music
The vibe is amazing. Live music and DJ every night. They have a great menu and variety. The seafood is amazing and their Greek specialties are awesome too. It’s always crowded so a reservation is recommended.
A place full of happy memories.
Amazing ambiance, so friendly staff, very delicious food. The best place for an interesting time, full of good memories and delicious food, and I recommend it to everyone.
Ok food
Located in the heart of European square, the restaurant is conveniently located and offers a wide range of coffee, beverages, pastries and savouries. Their à la carte menu however isn’t that good and the food is served cold and not good tasting.
