 It has about 2000 residents and it is located on the eastern side of the island. It is the capital, as well as the port of the island.
It is built at the foot of a hill and it constitutes the capital as well as the biggest port of the island. You should definitely take a walk around the narrow streets of the town and if you go up the hill you will be rewarded with a view of the open sea and the beautiful island complex of Fourni.

•The hot springs, considered to be amongst the most radioactive in the world. There are eight springs in total, varying in radioactivity and temperature, located in different parts of the island. They are not supposed to be dangerous because they owe their radioactivity to radonium and not radium salts. The hot springs are supposed to be very beneficial for those suffering form chronic rheumatisms, urethritis, neuralgia, neuritis, gynaecological and dermatological problems etc. |
