An alloy of Cycladic and neoclassical architecture, built on a hill 34 km southeast of Gavrio, the island’s port. It is characterized by the old town, the medieval Venetian houses, the ruins of the Venetian castle (13th century), the beautiful square with the statue of Nafani above the sea, the ouzo and the pastry shops with the most delicious sweets. A picturesque stone bridge (13th century) leads the visitor to the ruins of the Venetian castle (13th century). It is worth visiting the remarkable museums and churches of the city.
