Events worth planning around
- Greek Orthodox Easter in Chora and the villages (March, April or May).
- Village feasts (panigyria) in summer, including around 15 August, open to everyone with food, wine and music.
When to avoid
Mid-August is the busiest and most expensive, and strong wind can disrupt ferries. From November to March most accommodation and tavernas close and connections are limited.
