permanent residents. However, it has many things to offer such as its slow pace, fresh fish and beautiful beaches.

To the east of the harbor one will find the main road of the island, which extends only for a few kilometers. The road leads to the beach Finikas. You can continue by foot to the beaches Fanos and Platia Pounta, the famous beach of Koufonisi. Following the coastline you will reach the "Pisines" (Pools) and reaching at last the northern tip of the island the big sandy beach of Pori. |
