Decided as we hadn't seen a lot of the island yet we would do the half day tour to Nun's valley. This was the valley where the nuns went to hide from pirates. The drive up was spectacular and a bit scary in places. High into the mountains where we could get a view of of the village in the valley. On the way up we saw an area where there were nearly 30 post boxes and a communal car park. There are no roads to the houses and the residents need to walk down (and back up) very steep winding paths and staircases to get to their houses. We were driven through a long tunnel which now gives access to the village at the bottom of the valley where there were various craft shops and anyway you could possibly imagine eating or drinking chestnuts. The chestnut liqueur was actually quite pleasant. In the afternoon walked along the sea front to a nice park where we had a seat. Dinner in the old town at night.
