Day 5: Vatera, Polichnitos and a food route
Head south to Vatera for a long beach morning, then Polichnitos for the hot springs. Build the afternoon around food: Kalloni sardines, Mantamados cheese and ceramics, and a final ouzo stop in Plomari.
Book accommodation for the western leg (Eresos or Sigri) separately if possible — the drive back to Mytilini area each night would eat into your days unnecessarily.
