Timetable

Schedules are a constant source of anxiety for authors of guidebooks on Greece: they change constantly, sometimes several times a year, often they don't even really exist. One thing to remember: stay flexible! A museum that is closed during opening hours is commonplace, especially on islands where crowds are limited and in times of budget constraints. So, take your chances with the indications given in this guide or call before you come: it will be safer! During the off-season, assume that the minor sites and museums are closed, but if you find the right person, you may be given the keys..

Budget & Tips

Entrance fees to sites and museums are usually limited to a few euros, although tickets have increased in the last two years. In many cultural places, admission is free: a donation is always welcome in this case. Finally, there are discounts for young people and senior citizens of the EU, which can be claimed with proof of identity.

Guided tours

On the most touristic islands of the North Aegean, some major sites or tourist offices offer thematic tours either self-guided or with a guide. This being said, most of the time the municipalities of the islands do not propose anything. Too isolated, too little visited, too poor...: the reasons are numerous. Hotels and private individuals organize private tours, but your best option will be to ask around, at the café, at the tavern, to hear the stories of the places you have visited. On the other hand, you will often find local boats that offer excursions to the surrounding islets or to coves that are inaccessible by land.

Smokers

All outdoor public spaces are smoke-free, including parks, beaches, and even some open-air archaeological sites. On the other hand, the interior of museums, churches, monasteries and major archaeological sites are non-smoking. Please respect the place and do not throw your cigarette butts on the ground. Be particularly careful in summer, a fire is too quickly gone..

What's very local

It is necessary to plan a correct dress to visit the numerous monasteries and churches of the North Aegean: one will obviously not go there in a bikini, and too short or too low-cut clothes are to be banished. At the entrance of some particularly important religious sites, such as the monastery of Nea Moni in Chios or the monastery of the Archangel Michael in Thassos, long cloths are available to cover shoulders and legs.
