Insider tips

Visit during low tide to walk along the coastal wall and observe the base of the granite horreos from the beach level.

Book boat excursions to the Ons or Tambo islands well in advance, as berths and passenger spots are limited.

Explore the narrow stone alleys of the village immediately behind the marina for historical architecture.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to park in the narrow streets of the old town; use the designated outer parking areas near the marina entrance.

Etiquette

Maintain a quiet demeanor near the residential fishing quarters; wear non-slip shoes for navigating the stone quayside.
