For the nature lover, there’s an abundance of biological diversity, and we welcome you to wander among the lavish vegetation that encircles our quiet bays, all in the shadow of the Mountain Aenos standing amidst its national park. Wander among the cathedral like boughs of ancient pine forests that stretch to the upper reaches of Mount Aenos, or dive deep into the bays that surround this island, taking in everything nature has to offer.
Across the island you can find numerous bucolic villages that embody the life and traditions of modern Greece, offering tiny family owned café’s that have carried down recipes and flavors from hundreds of years of culinary tradition.
