The main port, set at the head of a deep sheltered bay halfway along the island, and really three small villages round one waterfront — Katapola, Xylokeratidi and Rachidi. Fishing boats, a line of tavernas, the bus stop for Chora and the monastery, and the path up to ancient Minoa on the hill behind. Most arrivals start here.
