Note
Please note: This tour involves a moderate amount of walking, at times over cobblestoned streets. Comfortable walking shoes and conservative attire are recommended. Please bear in mind that the island is small; guides and transportation have to come from the mainland and therefore are available only in limited supply. Sights can become very busy in the summer as it is a popular seaside resort for local tourists. Order of sights may vary.
