Is Megalochori worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, Megalochori earns the hours.

Allow 1–1.5 hours.

One of the prettiest authentic villages on the island, increasingly discovered but still calm and lived-in, surrounded by vineyards. There's little to formally 'do' — it's a place to wander, photograph, and have a glass of Assyrtiko. Charming rather than spectacular.
