Church of St Spyridon
The island's best-loved church, with the town's tallest bell tower and the relics of its patron saint. Dress modestly; services take priority.
Narrow shaded lanes (kantounia) of tall, pastel-coloured houses, little squares and church bell towers. Wander from the Spianada towards the old harbour and back.
