We loved it. Got off at port-turned right and just browsed the shops. We had a recommendation to shop at Christos Jewellery store (as I was after a certain piece). The hospitality was warm and welcoming (drinks provided). The jewellery was handmade, great quality and backed by the ships guarantee as well, and yes you can negotiate the pricing- intact white a it. Janis (the owners son) gifted us presents and also shouted us lunch and drinks at his cousins restaurant Porto. This was unexpected and completely fabulous-pure greek hospitality. We then walked down and hopped on a little"train" for 6 euro each and explored a little further -it takes you down to a beach where you can hop off if you wish and catch the later train cart back.. All in all a fabulous day, stunning weather and way better experience than Santorini.

We hired a brand new scooter from Modena scooter hire and toured the Old city and surroundings on our own. Best day.

The scooter was reliable but not high powered so we stayed away from the steep hills as I was riding pillion with my husband.

We ate lunch at Bon apetite- the pizza and wine was good.

We drank coffees on the house at the Modena night bar where we hired the scooter.

All in all a great day away from the maddening crowd. Tip- get in early to the old city before the millions of other people do.
