Getting there

The city walk can start on Bogoridi Boulevard. The boat to St Anastasia leaves from Magazia 1. Aquae Calidae and the southern sites require separate transport.

Parking

Blue and Green Zone rules change with seasons and holidays. Check the municipal map and instructions on site.

With children and reduced mobility

Choose a park, museum or quiet birdwatching to suit the children’s interests. Confirm access to the boat and island with the operator beforehand.

Costs

The Sea Garden is free to explore. Museums and Poda charge admission. The island boat and museum admission are separate expenses.

When to visit

Spring to autumn for longer walks. If sea conditions are unsuitable, replace the island with Aquae Calidae; do not treat them as a guaranteed combined itinerary.
