A pretty coastal town on the Fisherman's Way. Its many small alleys, with houses often painted in the typical white and blue, are dotted with shops and restaurants, as well as supermarkets and tourist shops.

The walk across the bridge over the Mira River is definitely worth recommending! The view of the wide river is absolutely wonderful. There's a designated pedestrian area so you can walk across in a relaxed manner. When I was there on Tuesday morning, there was virtually no traffic on the bridge.
