TO KEEP IN MIND:
9 h and 11 h departures reward early birds with peaceful morning light before the crowds arrive. 13 h 30 is our most popular slot for vacationers who sleep in and love wine and ice cream tastings. 15 h 30 is more affordable, still offers plenty of daylight as shops close at 18 h and before the late-afternoon exodus. There is an elevation gain of about 150m from the tip of the island to our place.
