The island's granite hills and sparse cover explain its open views and exposed walks. Northern winds helped power the mills above Chora, and the same wind can make north-facing beaches feel very different from south-coast coves such as Platys Gialos or Paranga.
Useful to know
On windy days, compare beach orientation before setting out; southern coves are generally more sheltered from a north wind.
Carry water and sun protection for walks across open, rocky ground.
