PHOTOGRAPHY

When and What to photograph Hilltop monasteries, charming mountain villages and attractive harbours, soaked in a magical, incandescent light. The Mediterranean summer sun can be powerful at the height of the day, making photos taken at this time appear 'flat'.

Restrictions Flashlight is forbidden in most museums, galleries and churches.

Where to buy film From tourist shops and photo laboratories. Development is quite expensive.
