Parking in the main parking lot near the harbor is already becoming a problem but if you are willing to walk a little, there are two really good, big, parking places on the beginning of the Stafylos road, next to Rigas House Hotel and two on the ring road. The ones on the ring road are only open after the 15th of June every year.
and on the road along the water going to the monasteries, behind the restaurant Muses and next to the Asclepion site. I am sure the parking on the school grounds will also open soon so there will be more praking close to the Aperiton hotel from which it is easy to walk into town and near the Gym hall from where it is easy to walk into the street vwith the post office to walk into town. All a few minutes walk and no hassle to find a parking space!
After the 15th of June there are two more parking areas on school playgrounds.
Parking on the grounds of the elementary school is possible again. It is below Hotel Aperiton. The ring road there is also not busy. From there it is a five minute walk into the harbor. The road below the parking leads to the harbor. On the way you pass many nice shops, bars and restaurants.
Parking on the high school grounds is also possible again. You turn into the small road just before the highschool and the health center next to it (see photo below) When you walk back you take the road to your left which leads along the post office, the Vodaphone shop, Panos his bike shop and you end up on Platanos square and the harbor. Only a few minutes walk!
