What is inside

Where to stay

Six places per town, from a room above a bakery to the quiet hotel worth the splurge.

What to eat

The taverna the fishermen use, the bakery queue worth joining, and what to order once you are there.

How to move

Ferry timetables, the slow train that beats the motorway, and which walk to do before breakfast.

When to go

Month-by-month notes on light, crowds, heat and what is actually in season.
