Although in most respects the view of the island is spectacular, not all are appropriate for a photo-op or rest stop. Be sure to stop in places specially designed for this purpose so that you and passing cars remain safe.
Be sure to obtain enough gasoline if you are planning to drive for a long distance. The gas stations on the island are few, and running out of it isn’t one of the best experiences.

The cave where the hermit St. Gerasimos located in the old chapel of the monastery is not recommended for claustrophobics.
