What to expect
The tour alternates between seated segments along the coast and seafront, then short walking stretches through the pedestrian heart of the city. Expect tight, characterful streets lined with family-run shops, laundries strung between buildings, and people living their daily lives. Your guide will pause at key squares and architectural points to explain layers of history—Greek foundations, medieval fortifications, later royal additions. Walking is moderate; no steep climbs or distance covered, though the streets can be uneven and busy with scooters and foot traffic. Most of the tour happens at street level in the thick of the city.
Good to know
Infants can use a pram or sit on a guardian's lap; car seats are available on request. This tour involves walking on ancient, sometimes bumpy cobbles and isn't suitable if you have serious heart concerns. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a hat for sun. Public transport stations are nearby if you need to exit early or explore further.
