The harbour area is also a nice spot to relax and take in the setting. Your tour leader meets everyone at the hotel reception at 7pm to go over things, so you'll want to be back by then. Dinner afterward is up to you - the group might head out together, but it's not required if you'd prefer to rest after traveling.
