What an idyllic little town this is! Even driving through the residential area, the homes look like they are in a fairy tale story. Beautiful wildflowers grow everywhere. |

But, other than shopping and eating, there isn't too much else to do in town. Lots and lots of art galleries. They best art galleries I have ever seen!
My boyfriend bought a painting in Athens, Greece a few years ago. It is a scene from the island of Poros painted by Fani Parlapani. Surprisingly, we were told her artwork also sells in the US in Carmel but for 2-3 times as much. And, we did find her artwork for sale.

| | The downtown Carmel area spans a few streets. From Highway 101 going south from Monterey, exit Prunedale. Take Highway 156 west, at Castroville, stay to the left, the road becomes Highway 1 south to Carmel. Turn right at Ocean Avenue and go 1 mile to downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea. Or, follow the bus route signs, that will get you there, too!
From Highway 101 going north from Los Angeles, go west on highway 68. Take highway 68 to highway 1 south towards Carmel. Turn right at Ocean Avenue and go 1 mile to downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea. |
