Άγιος Γεώργιος
A small old village with almost no tourism but with quite a number of foreigners that build houses there. On the right side of the road to Georgios and Rachoni lie the ruins of an old watermill. It is located between the two villages and is not easy to find in the bushes but well worth seeing. The chapel Agios Georgios above the village is worth a visit.
Ραχώνι
Not a tourist village. An interesting sight is a church directly before the village. It is a nice cool place on hot summer days under large trees and with waterways. A tavern is also there. Above the village is the island's only dog sanctuary. Approximately 3-km dirt road above the village is the small worth seeing chapel St. Johann (Agios Joannis) in an impressive mountain landscape. The way is signposted. You can drive with 4WD, but also make a worthwhile walk up.
Pier of the ferry to Kavala. Beautiful sandy beaches, restaurants, hotels, a campsite, otherwise rather quiet.

Along the road are many smaller beaches, usually with beach bars. Most visited are the beaches around Scala Rachoni (Pahis beach, Glyfada Beach).
This beach offers easy access by both land and boat. Not heavily organized.
