From an ecotourism perspective it’s great for hiking, biking, kayaking and stand-up paddling (see tours below), in addition to offering diving excursions. Try these activities, head for an afternoon siesta, then explore the town’s alleyways and coast to find a favorite place to eat at. The island can be reached by car from Athens and then a few-minute ferry ride from the town of Galatas which is right across, or you can take a boat from Piraeus, either a high-speed flying dolphin or flying cat for an hour, or a the pleasant slow ferry that takes three hours and enjoy the view of passing islands and islets. You can’t go wrong with a visit to this island!
