About
Quick facts: Narrow streets wind through a labyrinth of white facades reflecting the strong sun of the Aegean Sea. More than 15,000 people live in this area, which is known for its characteristic blue and red windows.
Highlights: A wide network of narrow streets hides numerous small churches, a unique feature of the place with as many as 400 churches on the island. Observant visitors can notice traditional hand-painted wooden balconies and windows, which are true masterpieces of local craftsmen.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking on the paved narrow streets.
- The best photo moments are at dawn or sunset due to the special light.
- Avoid bargaining in the main markets during peak crowd times; instead, explore less known streets.
- Note that many paths are one-way and can be confusing, so have a map or app at hand.
