Ancient Thera

This 11th century BC Dorian settlement includes remains from Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods.

Reviewed By 335kimberleyp - Grimsby, United Kingdom

Ancient Thera is at the top of a mountain and well worth a visit for anyone enjoying archeology . Just a word of warning it is worth the 10euro fare for a mini bus up and down the winding road then to access the site it is a tiring uphill climb to the summit , the stunning views alone are superb and the bus allows two hours visit which is ample time to inspect the remains of the ancient Hellenistic city .

Little Venice

Reviewed By NicolasC973 - Limassol City, Cyprus

A must do while in Mykonos! Sunset time is the best time to visit Little Venice, preferably latest by 7.30pm to have an hour to watch the full sunset while enjoying a refreshing cocktail at one of the cafes situated on the shore of this location. Best enjoyed in a romantic mood with your loved one, or a flirt, easily found in Mykonos ;))

Lefkes

Reviewed By francinal - Stanford, United States

Topical Cycladic village. Extremely clean and friendly. I highly recommend a visit in the early morning if you are in Páros. Don’t forget to visit the cafe by the big church and meet Konstantinos the owner.. he serves the best lemonade in town. Truly a gem.

Parikia Town

Reviewed By duhoz - Beroun, Czech Republic

A friendly city which was more convenient for me to stay than picturesque and laid-back Nauousa The ancient city has everything, historical buildings, narrow charming streets, lovely taverns with great traditional Greek fare or fresh sea catches and sandy beaches around. The port just in the city center as well as main bus station to take you around the island, the airport not far away. The time does fly so quickly, its relax here, especially after the sunset. And I felt very safe at night while strolling the Frankish Castle area.

Old Town

Reviewed By MrandMrsRo - Chester, United Kingdom

Lovely scenic alleyways. Lots of shops but didn't feel tacky touristy. We found an excellent traditional wood fired bakery in the Old Market area - best bread we had on the island and freshly baked all day long so piping hot when bought - open all day and till 9pm at night too. Worth going right up to the castle area and onto the terrace (through a cafe) to get a wonderful panoramic view of the island.

Acropolis of Lindos

Reviewed By Daveshent - Leek, United Kingdom

Wow, such a spectacle from when you 1st see the castle walls on the approach be it land or sea. You need good shoes to negotiate the steep hill side and narrow streets, and there are many paths up to the acropolis. A short Que and 12 euro and you enter the walls. more steep steps and uneven ground all the way to the top. Lots of information boards to explain the huge history of the place, fantastic wonderment of how they built and lived in this amazing fort and then the views OMG Take your time on the walk up (and down) lazily wander around the ruins and soak up the drama. Fantastic.
