A colorful fishing village on a narrow isthmus, with a castle-topped peninsula. It is especially photogenic from the road above and ranks among the island's loveliest villages.
On the northwest coast of the island, soft-colored Venetian-style houses surround a small bay. A narrow isthmus links the village to a peninsula crowned by a 16th-century Venetian castle, and the view from the road above is spectacular. The village has a few seaside tavernas and a small pebble beach, good for swimming and lunch. From the village, you can hike up the zigzag mountain path to the castle ruins in about 40 minutes, where you'll have a view over the village and bay. The village streets are narrow and parking is difficult in summer, so it's best to leave your car at the entrance to the village.
