A Free Day

No plans, no pressure. Recover, explore, or both. A few ideas if you’d like them:
Wander the town
Cobbled streets, tavernas, markets, harbourside coffee.
Visit the ruins
Ancient sites within easy reach by taxi or hire car.
Wine & olive oil tasting
A handful of small producers nearby do tastings, a lovely way to spend an afternoon.
Windsurfing or watersports
For anyone with energy left to burn. The bay is great for it.
Or simply sunbathe
The pool, the beach, a book, a long lunch. Honestly recommended.
