The characteristic of Chora is the narrow labyrinthic alleys in the old town around the castle. This creates a different feeling by transporting visitors who will explore it to other times.

When you visit Chora you can enjoy the beautiful view of the sea, some food, coffee, deserts or drink. An interesting element is a market, which is scattered in the numerous narrow alleys of the old town and there are several kinds of shops, clothes jewelry, and souvenirs.
