Timeline
15:38
Sit in the courtyard of Artistai with a beer. The large open space is the perfect spot to relax and watch the afternoon light shift.
16:03
Walk to the Gate of Dawn. This is the last surviving gate of the old city walls, straddled by a chapel housing a famous icon. Arrive early to find a good spot near the base or the steps.
16:23
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the SW, casting a warm glow on the stone facade of the gate and the chapel before disappearing.
16:53
End the evening at Cozy. It is a short walk away and offers a laid-back atmosphere upstairs or a DJ-bar downstairs if you want to keep the night going.
Local tip
Artistai has live music, so check if it is playing on the night you visit. The courtyard is best for sunset views, while the interior is better for later.
