The local coast is washed by the blue waters of the Aegean Sea, why the background is formed by huge rocks, slopes covered with pine trees, and snow-white houses. Such a view can be savoured the best from one of the local tavernas, with great food and drinks and the spirit of Greek traditions and hospitability. The two beverages especially worth recommending are the alcoholic drink of ouzo, and delicious coffee.
