Above the village starts the nice 'trail to the castle ruins' (about 2km) with wonderful views over the massif and the plain of Drama. A number of good restaurants with stunning views are well worth a visit in the village. The village is centrally located and well suited to take up quarters here. You can reach both Elefteropolis as a larger town quite quickly, as well as Kavala, if you want to escape the quiet of the villages. Also the way to the beach is not far and the village center is nicely designed, so that one can stroll in the evening and then eat well in one of the restaurants.

Above the village there is the restaurant Kastanies" which is definitivly worth a visit due to the impressive views over the plain of Philippi and on the Pangaio mountain. Because of the altitude, it is refreshingly cool even in midsummer. From the end of the street at the restaurant, a very nice 'trail' leads to a small waterfall (800m) and an old bridge (1600m).

a log cabin restaurant with great views. In the hot summer months you can escape here, because of the altitude, the heat. In winter, it is a cozy place to drink a wine by the large open fireplace.
