An easy harbour night with views and tasting.
Getting there from Alimos Marina
About 27 nautical miles from Alimos Marina in a straight line. The sailing route is longer, and your skipper plans the passage around the wind and the rest of the week.
What to do
Climb to the Clock Tower for the view
Visit the museum in town
Take the short boat across to Galatas for the Lemon Forest
Food and swimming
What to eat and taste
Try lemon sweets, lemonade and spoon sweets from the pastry shops, then eat at a harbour taverna.
Swimming
Sheltered coves on the island, and quiet bays around the strait.
