with medieval castle (built in 1400), white washed houses, maze streets, churches and
a dozen of windmills reminding you of past days, when the islanders used the wind power efficiently to make their windmills work.

close to Agia Aekaterini church. At the top of Hora is the chapel of
Agios Nikolaos and under the castle the church of Panagia Gremiotissa.

of entertainment.
