Its rugged landscape and unspoiled coastline truly spoil visitors whether solo travelers and couples enjoying a Greek island hopping holiday who plan to explore the cultural sights and the most picturesque beaches or families looking to kick back and relax by moving from the beach to the beach bar/cafe and back again.
Chora (pronounced Hora) is the picture-postcard heart of the island with its picturesque medieval backstreets containing whitewashed houses and chapels, windmills, a cathedral, and Venetian castle which offer stunning views out across the harbor front with the port.
Despite the slightly disheveled look which is what makes it so charming and authentically Greek, Chora is anything but a sleepy town. At night you can enjoy a home-cooked meal in a family taverna, tap your feet to the beat in jazz bars, or let your hair down at the dance clubs.
If you’re looking for the best of both worlds, combining a blue flag beach holiday with plenty of nightlife and sightseeing Agios Georgios is the place for you.
The Blue Flag beach might not be the most picturesque on the island but the sheltered bay with shallow water is perfect for the kids and you can enjoy stunning sunsets whether you’re sitting out on the sand or watching from one of the numerous waterfront cafes or bars.
The beach has a large family-friendly organized section with sunbeds and umbrellas and a nudist beach at the far end with sand dunes and rocks. Accommodation is mostly family-run with small hotels, self-catering apartments, and studios.
