Cross to the archipelago's second inhabited island only after confirming the return with the local boat that morning
Thymaina should be approached as an inhabited fishing island, not an empty excursion backdrop. Walk the port and lower lanes, buy coffee or lunch if a business is open and notice how the settlement uses its steep ground. A short stay is sufficient; the day's success depends more on respectful pacing and a reliable return than on covering distance.
Confirm the local boat, departure point, fare and return on the same morning, then ask what happens if wind rises. Carry water, cash, sun protection and essential medicine because service cannot be assumed. Keep clear of working gear and private steps, do not enter chapels or yards without permission and abandon the outing if the skipper advises against it.
