However despite its traditional charm the town caters just as well for the more modern tourist with all the amenities and activities to create an enjoyable holiday, whether you just wish to relax on the beautiful beach, try out some exciting water sports or wait till the later hours and spend time at some of the bars and tavernas or one of the discos, which are open till the early hours.
