Coastal road winding toward Marisol Bay

Plan Your Visit

Everything you need to plan the trip.

How to get here, where to stay, and the answers to the questions every first-time visitor asks.

Getting your bearings

Two hours south of the regional airport along one of the prettiest drives on the Mediterranean.

Seasonal ferries connect the harbor to the neighbouring islands from May to October. Once you arrive, leave the car behind — the old town is car-free and walkable.

Getting here

Arrive by road, by sea, or by both

The coast road hugs the cliffs the whole way in — give yourself time to stop. Seasonal ferries run to the islands from the old harbor between May and October.

In town, everything from the beach to the harbor is a ten-minute stroll; bikes and water taxis cover the rest of the bay.

Visitor questions

June and September offer warm seas with smaller crowds. July and August are liveliest; spring and autumn are quietest and best for hiking and diving.

Not in town — the centre is car-free and compact. A car helps for exploring the wider coast, but ferries, bikes, and water taxis cover most trips.

Very. The town beach has calm, shallow water and lifeguards in season, and most tavernas welcome children late into the evening.

You’ll be understood in English throughout the town, but a few words of the local greeting always earn a warm smile.
