Quick chooser
| Base | Choose it if you want… | Rental notes |
|---|---|---|
| Apollonia | Evenings, shops, central loops | Artemis desk on your doorstep |
| Artemonas | Quieter nights, pretty lanes | 5 minutes to Apollonia keys |
| Kamares | Ferry ease, bay beach | Easy car pickup days; scooter still Apollonia |
| Platis Gialos | Beach-first week | Car/scooter for villages & Chrysopigi |
| Vathi | Calm sand, romance | Scooter or car for island circuit |
| Faros / others | Low-key coastal | Wheels almost essential |
Apollonia & Artemonas
Best all-rounder for first visits. Sleep near the centre, walk at night, drive out by day. More in Apollonia & Artemonas.
Kamares
Ideal when you have early boats or prefer sea-level mornings. Combine with Artemis car pickup at the port on arrival day.
Beach villages
Platis Gialos suits families who want sand outside the door. Vathi suits travellers chasing quieter water. You will still want wheels for Kastro, north coast, and pottery hops.
