The gem of the North Aegean
Molyvos is an old village with characteristic, well-maintained cobble-stone streets. One can drive a car to the town-home and find easy free parking but a few meters off it at a municipal lot. The village is, however, best seen on foot and offers endless possibilities of comfortable strolls through its windy streets.
