day4

A day out of town

  • All day

    Parekklisia

day5

Walking and what you missed

A free day. Go back to wherever you wanted to linger, and add one or two places from the list you haven't reached.

Carry some cash for markets and small cafés — cards are not taken everywhere.

day6

A tour, or a second trip out

A good day for a guided tour: a guide tells you what the signs don't, and takes the driving off your hands.

  • All day

    Meneou

    Meneou is 52 km from Moni, about 35m by car. Leave in the morning so you're back before dark.

day7

Last day and departure

A calm finish: a favourite spot once more, some shopping, a late lunch. Leave yourself room before the airport.

Allow twice what the map says for the airport run — it is never the quiet hour when you need it.
