Towns
In the north of the island there are many small towns that haven’t been spoiled by the passing of time and tourism.
Examples of the traditional town consisting of small houses all around a church are Kampi where you can admire the largest cement cross of all Greece; Agios Leon, Exo Chora from where you leave to see the Venetian tower, Maries and Anfonitria that host two monasteries, Saint George of the Rocks and the one of the Anafonitria Holy Mother.
All those towns in winter live on agriculture and breeding, whereas in summer they sell handmade handcraft products and opening taverns for the tourist held by local families.

Beach
Those towns are all in the inland and they do not have beaches but they are the starting point to reach the most beautiful fiords of the island through asphalted and non- asphalted roads.

How to move
Here you can not rent motorbikes or cars since they do not have tourist facilities.
There aren’t daily buses to the main town and the only way to get there if you do not have your own car is the taxi.

Where to lodge
It is difficult to find a place to spend the night but it is not impossible, some local habitants rent rooms but there are no hotels or big tourist infrastructures.

Shops
There are some snack bars and mini markets for local people in addition to the stalls selling local products such as olive oil, honey, carpets, table clothes and souvenirs.


Amusement
This is a very quiet area and at night you have the possibility to taste typical dishes in the local taverns but there aren’t other places where to go after dinner to enjoy oneself.
