Menetes
Μενετές
A village on a ridge southwest of the capital, with a clifftop church overlooking the east-coast bays and a folk museum.
Menetes is about 8 km from Pigadia, built on a ridge. Brightly coloured houses surround the Church of the Assumption at the cliff edge, and from its terrace you can look down over the east-coast bays and the capital. The village has a small folk museum displaying traditional costumes, farm tools and household items, as well as a 5 October monument commemorating the wartime resistance. A few traditional tavernas serve local dishes.
