Nathon on the Southwestern coast is the island's main port and the
beaches here lack the beauty or deep water found on the east coast of the island. The
city of Nathon offers great shopping with some of the best prices to be found anywhere on
the island, as well as some truly good local restaurants, including a fantastic place on
a side street where you can get a low priced Chinese Duck lunch. The open-air food market
is piled high with inexpensive and fresh local produce. Some of the shops in Nathon are
really offbeat, selling umbrellas, computer parts, stationary, and cheese in a single
shop. Banks and Travel agencies here make it happen for travelers, and the ferry to the
mainland and point beyond departs from this port.
