Higher up, on a hill, spreads the old town, Ano Vathi, its distinctive characteristic being its cobbled lanes and old tile-roofed dwellings, which constitute at present listed buildings.
The eastern part of the island is an activity center, hemmed in by picturesque settlements, small and large coves, and beautiful beaches.
