So much information and lovely pictures, thank you! I wanted to ask, what beaches do you recommend visiting without a car/scooter? Are some easy to get with a bus or water taxi? Garifalos and Agia Marina seem easy to walk to from town. But I have my eyes on the northern beaches (Lovers Cove, Zogerias) as well as Paraskevi on the west.
