Upon reaching the island you will encounter Patitiri, the picturesque harbour and capital of the island with the beautiful stone-paved waterfront that took its name from the wine presses used by the locals, who were mainly occupied with wine making. Chora is the old capital of the island. A medieval castle offering sweeping views to the sea, stone houses with picture-perfect courtyards, narrow paved streets and a number of churches encapsulate the essence of a typical Greek island village. A trail from Chora leads to the church of Agioi Anargyroi, where you can enjoy a lovely walk in the dense pine forest.
