The mid-ages style houses, the neo-classical and island-type ones, in addition to the narrow alleys, the museums and the beaches, are the main attractions for every visitor.The southern part of the island is dominated by Ormos, a quiet picturesque village with a large beach. At close distance is Aidonia, with the tower-houses, Piso Meria, lovely Korthi, Kaparia, Alamania, Chones.

Moving higher, towards the impressive Faneromeni Castle, we will find Piskopio, Lardia, Gianiseo Mesa and Exo Vouni and Kochylou. At the end of "Dipotamata" valley is situated Syneti.Unforgettable experience will be your visit to "Grias Pidima", an impressive beach very close to Ormos. In Paleopoli swim at the nice beach of the bay, which you will reach by a short walk.

Escaping from the villages and the crowded places, discover isolated, sandy or rocky beaches. There is a road to most of them, but others are accessible only through old footpaths or by boat.
