Getting around on Iraklia

Most people choose to get around on foot. The island's only paved road runs from the port (via Livadi beach) to Panagia (Chora). The route does not take many minutes to drive, in other words there is no reason to rent a scooter. If you walk slowly, it takes an hour to walk from port to Panagia. To Livadi beach, it takes a maximum 15 minutes.
