Easy hydrofoil access from Athens makes this sophisticated little island which bans vehicle traffic a local version of Mykonos - with the shopping, without the nude beaches. Charming harbor, nice church architecture, fun shops, and pricey but generally good quality tavernas. Feel like a day's pilgrimage? Walk to the monastery above and behind the town... making sure that, whether you're a man or a woman, you have something to cover those illicit bare arms and legs once you arrive.
