CUNDA ISLAND (ALIBEY ADASI)

In fact, this island is, since the construction of a bridge in 1964, a peninsula and one can go by bus, but it is much more pleasant to take one of the boats that leave the port several times a day. This ancient resort, where the rich Ayvaliotes spent the summer, had 15 000 inhabitants at the time. Today, there are about 2 000. You have to walk through the streets to the ruined houses and the deserted churches where birds are hunted. Cunda has some pensions and the coast is strewn with small coves where you can swim, but most visitors come mainly to taste the mezze and fish used by the port's restaurants. Bikes can be rented to tour the island.
