Attractions
The first place to visit on your list should be the monastery located on the headland where you can actually get inside and view the famous ceiling carving, the 'Tree of Life'. Make sure you are dressed sensibly though as you do not want to offend the locals. Nearby there is a stunning medieval castle, Angelokastro sited on a hilltop, which can be reached by a very scenic drive via the village of Lakones, or on foot if you have time. A number of sea caves can be visited by boat so if you enjoy a good boat trip, these last about 30 minutes and are well worth it!
Nightlife
You can't go wrong with a visit to one of the local tavernas that are renowned for serving up delicious locally caught lobster. There are a number of inexpensive tavernas to visit but if you fancy something a bit more upmarket there are also ones offering expensive cuisine. Should you fancy a taste of the local specialty drinks, the tavernas also offer a range of Metaxa and Ouzo. Those who want a lively night out will be pleased to know the island has a number of bars and nightclubs where you will find a number of wines, cocktails and beers on offer.
