The sun is very strong in summer and especially in August. Try to avoid the direct exposure for extended periods of time, especially from 11.00 to 16.00. You should often use a high factor sun cream or oil to get the maximum protection and get a nice sun tan.

As for transportation, we highly suggest a motorbike or bicycle as the distances are quite short. You should be careful though when driving on the Small Cyclades because the road network is not well maintained and there are not wide roads but narrow and winding.

Mind that there is no gas station to be found except for Koufonisi. There are no pharmacies but the local health centres will serve you instead and there are no post office facilities.

Although these islands are generally arid, there is potable water. Of course, you can always buy bottled water.
