A long beach afternoon, then up to the cliff villages for cocktails and one of Greece's great sunsets.

The classic golden-hour run. Spend the afternoon on Kathisma, then climb to the cliff-top villages above Exanthia for sunset drinks or dinner. Practical tip: shower and change at Kathisma's beach bars before heading up, so you arrive comfortable. The sunset spots are popular — book a table in advance.
