Drakos Cave, or "cave of the dragon" is a natural cave bedecked with stalactites and stalagmites in the island's north (not far from the village of Vathi). The color of these whimsical rock formations changes depending on the mineral content of the water, which makes each visit unlike the other.

You don’t even have to go far—or leave the city—to fish in Anchorage. During salmon season, Ship Creek, just a few blocks from downtown, fills up with locals trying their luck. Outfitters around town can help with gear, licenses, and tips if you’re new to it. If you’ve got a car, there are plenty of spots within an hour where you can go after trout, grayling, and more salmon.

Although Hoi An is perfectly walkable, cycling is an easy way of getting around, if your itinerary extends beyond the Old Town (including An Bang Beach). The Hoi An Old Town is closed off to all motorised traffic (including motorbikes) on most days, between 8.30 and 11.00 and then again 15.00 to 21.30, which means streets can be comfortably navigated by cyclists and pedestrians. Many hotels and guest houses offer bike rental services (or even complimentary bicycle use in some cases), but multiple bike rental shops operate throughout town as well. Prices are normally very reasonable and can be as low as 1 USD per day (depending on the bike). Single-gear bikes will suffice for cycling through town, but mountain bikes are recommended for those who wish to venture into the countryside. While locals will often be seen riding without helmets on, we recommend asking for one at your bike hire provider to ensure safety.
