The old port of Thirassia, at the foot of the cliff, is connected to the capital of the island Manolas only by a zigzag path and you go up on foot or riding a donkey. It's mainly a stopover for caldeira cruises, with a line of taverns, most of which have the reputation of being tourist traps... |
Perched on the cliff and connected to the port of Korfos only by a zigzag path, the capital of Thirassia inevitably evokes Thira and its old port of Mesa Gialos. Here too, you go on foot or riding a donkey, but the comparison stops there. Here, we are far from the omnipresent tourist crowd of Thira! |
Riva (Aghia Irini) is not the only port of Thirassia but it's the one from where starts the only road climbing to Manolas, the village on the cliff. (Unfortunately, we don't have photos of the place.) |
