On the large square stands the imposing Church of the Ascension of Christ, built in the 17th century.
A walk through the village is pleasant, but be forewarned, you have to walk many steps. In the village is a church museum with old icons and books. There is also an agricultural museum with traditional cooking utensils and tools. From the village, which is near the monastery of Agia Pelagia, you have a fantastic view over the Aegean Sea.
The residents really love their village. They have never modernized it. In the village are some nice traditional cafes (kafeneions) and taverns.
