Itinerary
Day 1
Gentle, accessible day to receive your eSIM email, install on-device, test coverage around Chora and enjoy an easy lunch and sunset.
Arrival at Port of Naxos — check email & confirm eSIM delivery
When you arrive in Chora / the port area, find a shaded bench or café to confirm you received the eSIM email. Save the email and any QR code to your phone's photos app and make a note of the WhatsApp support number (+306977463983) for quick help.
Tips from local experts:
- If mobility is limited, use the paved pier ramp at the port entrance — there are benches near the main arrival area and staff nearby who can point you to accessible seating.
- Open the eSIM email and take a screenshot of the QR code; that way you can enlarge it easily if your device camera struggles with scanning.
- If you don't see the email within 30 minutes, message the WhatsApp support number included in the product notes — ask them to resend the QR code as text or manual parameters.
Breakfast & steady Wi‑Fi at Agios Georgios Beach (calm cafe)
Walk or take a short taxi to Agios Georgios Beach for a relaxed breakfast where many cafes offer stable Wi‑Fi — ideal to download the eSIM email attachments and follow installation steps in a comfortable seat.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the café for a table near a power socket and with a chair that has a backrest — many beach cafés reserve these for older guests on request.
- Prefer the quieter west end of the beach (closer to the small church) where foot traffic is lower and staff are used to helping with device setup.
- Keep cellular data OFF during setup and use the café Wi‑Fi to avoid accidental roaming charges; confirm the café Wi‑Fi name with staff and ask for the password in large print if helpful.
Guided eSIM activation (step‑by‑step)
Follow the quick guide steps: Settings > Add eSIM / Add Cellular Plan > Scan QR or enter manual details. If the camera has trouble, switch to manual installation details supplied by the vendor. Enable data roaming for the new plan and restart the device.
Tips from local experts:
- Have the vendor's WhatsApp number ready; if scanning fails, ask them to paste the manual activation details into the chat so you can copy/paste them into your phone.
- If your device has more than one SIM, temporarily disable your physical SIM’s mobile data in Settings to prevent confusion while testing the new eSIM.
- Bring a small powerbank — installations and restarts can drain older batteries and a low battery can interrupt the activation process.
Short accessible stroll through Naxos Old Town (Chora) and quick connectivity test
Move at a gentle pace through the paved, flatter sections of Chora to test mobile data: open maps, send a message, and load a webpage. Stay on the main (paved) streets to avoid steep, cobbled lanes.
Tips from local experts:
- Stick to the seaside promenade and the wider streets around the Kastro where pavements are flatter and benches are placed frequently.
- Carry a small folding stool or request seating breaks at café terraces — Old Town has many small cafés with step‑free access near the waterfront.
- If you notice any dropouts, note the exact street and time to report to vendor support — coverage in narrow alleys can be weaker, so test in open squares for the best read.
Leisurely lunch by the port — calm taverna with seating and shade
Enjoy a relaxed lunch at a portside taverna. Choose a table with shade and easy access to restrooms. Use lunch time to run a few heavier data tasks (photo backups, map downloads) to confirm the eSIM performs for typical travel needs.
Tips from local experts:
- Request a table away from the busiest walkway; port cafés often place older‑traveller friendly seating with good backs near the water.
- Ask staff to briefly test the Wi‑Fi speed or allow you to use their outlet — many tavernas are happy to help guests who need to finalise travel setup.
- If you plan to upload photos or backup, do a small test first (one photo) to ensure speed is acceptable before committing cellular data to larger uploads.
Evening special moment — sunset at Portara (Temple of Apollo)
Return to the Portara for sunset: an easy, mostly flat walk from the main harbor. The site has low walls for seating and spectacular golden‑hour views — an ideal calm, reflective end to the day once your data is tested.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 30 minutes before sunset to secure a spot on one of the low sea‑facing walls; some routes are gravel but the main path is level and suitable for walkers with moderate mobility.
- Bring a light jacket — sea breeze at sunset can be cool even in May. If mobility is a concern, local taxis can drop you at the nearest paved access point.
- Use this moment to test video calls or upload a short video to confirm evening speeds — if you have any issues, message the vendor while you're at the site (better signal in open spaces).
