10:00

Alopronia Port

Start at the port, the island’s main arrival point, and set aside about 30–45 minutes to get your bearings among the quay, houses, and local services. If you arrive by ferry, factor in time for luggage and settling in before moving on; a local transfer to your accommodation can cost approximately €5–15, depending on distance and availability.

Check ferry schedules in advance and arrange your transfer, especially if you’re arriving outside the busiest periods.

11:00

Agios Nikolaos Beach

Reach the beach on foot or with a short local transfer, allowing about 10–20 minutes depending on your starting point. Spend 2–3 hours swimming and taking a walk along the shore; bring water and sun protection, as facilities and shade may be limited. A simple lunch or snack nearby can cost approximately €10–20 per person.

Check sea conditions on site and whether any facilities are available before planning a longer stop.

09:00

Chora (Kastro and Chorio)

Get to Chora from Alopronia by bus, taxi, or rental vehicle: allow about 15–25 minutes of travel, depending on the service. Spend around 2 hours wandering the lanes of Kastro and Chorio, taking in the whitewashed houses, small squares, and views over the island’s hills; a coffee break can cost around €3–6.

If you plan to visit any buildings or local collections, check availability and information through official channels.

11:30

Zoodochos Pigi Monastery

From the center, continue on foot to the monastery if the route and the heat allow, or take a short transfer; allow about 30–60 minutes in total for the journey and the visit. Respect the religious character of the site and check official guidance and access conditions before setting out. The visit may be free or may involve a voluntary donation.

Wear appropriate clothing for a place of worship and bring water, especially in the hot months.

14:00

Episkopi Temple

After a lunch break, reach Episkopi by private vehicle or taxi: the trip from Chora takes about 15–25 minutes, while on foot it is a much longer route and should be checked in advance. Allow 45–75 minutes to take in the complex and the surrounding landscape, paying attention to the architectural remains and the site’s later transformations. Budget around €10–20 for a simple meal and check official channels for any access or ticketing information.

Plan your return before you set off: services and departures on the island can be infrequent.

10:00

Dialiskari Beach

Set off with an arranged ride toward the beach, allowing for transfer times that vary depending on where you’re staying and road conditions. Set aside 2–3 hours for swimming and relaxing; bring water, a hat, and a snack if you haven’t checked whether facilities are available. The beach usually does not have an entrance fee, while local transport may cost roughly €5–15 or more depending on distance and mode.

Ask locals about road conditions and agree on your return time in advance.

14:00

Manalis Winery

After lunch, continue to the winery by car, scooter, or pre-booked transfer; allow for variable travel times and check the route before you leave. Dedicate about 1–2 hours to the visit and, if available, to a tasting of local wines: expect roughly €10–25 per person, depending on the format and tastings. Check the official website or contact the winery directly for availability, visiting conditions, and updated prices.

Don’t rely on turning up without a booking: ask for confirmation and arrange a safe return after any tastings.

18:00

Panagia Pantanassa Church

Head to Chora for a final stroll and visit the church while respecting religious services and local rules. Allow about 30–45 minutes for the stop, then pause in the alleys or at a taverna for dinner; a meal may cost roughly €15–30 per person, depending on what you order. For access and specific information, check official channels or ask on site.

Leave extra time for the transfer from the winery and for returning to your accommodation or the port.
