- The second square in Chora
Crowd level: Quiet. Room to linger
Best season Late May to June, and September. Winter ferries are sparse. Plan the boat before the mood.
The Chora sits on a cliff, white and closed against the wind. There is no cruise pier doing the work for you. You walk the squares, climb to the church, and eat when the kitchen is ready.
The short version
The hill town was built as a defense against pirates. The church of the Panagia above the rock became a place of pilgrimage. The squares and the cliff path are the visit.

The second square in Chora
Eat meze in town. The first square is the arrival. The second is where people stay. Do not expect a beach club, and do not go looking for one.
