Built in 1861, the Church of Agios Nikolaos is the protector of the island and boasts the highest bell tower in the Dodecanese. If you think the exterior is astonishing, wait until you step inside.

Chances are you may not just stumble across this jewellery store-cum-souvenir hotspot; to say it's tucked away is an understatement.

A spinach pie a day keeps the doctor away or, in this case, the taste buds duly satisfied. Pop by Dimitri's for your breakfast fill, a loaf of freshly baked bread and your daily catch-up with fellow islanders.
