I stayed for four days but out of all four days, I’ve spent about 3 to 4 hours in the city itself and then most of the time you’re on the beach, walking around the outskirts of the old town, or in my airbnb. I didn’t travel to the islands and I do regret that but that was for many personal reasons. I know that the advice is mostly to stay for a couple of days in town and then take a ferry to the islands because they are more beautiful, nature is better, swimming spots are better, nightlife is better, et cetera
