Wander the whitewashed, wisteria-draped lanes of Chora with a local guide who knows which rooftop terrace and which grandmother's bakery matter, not the postcard shots.
What to expect
Starting from the harbour, you climb through narrow marble-paved alleys past over 100 tiny churches, stopping at a working bakery for tyropita and a family-run distillery for a taste of local tsipouro. Your guide explains the island's Byzantine and Venetian layers and points out architectural details easy to miss alone. The walk ends at a hidden terrace above the rooftops as the sun drops over the harbour.
Good to know
Wear flat shoes for cobblestones; best started 2-3 hours before sunset. Confirm meeting point at the port clock tower.
