The main attractions of the village are the church of Agios Ioannis Theologos and the small church of Profitis Ilias at the top of a nearby small hill. The two old watermills of Ioannis Hatziantonis and of Kassios that have been characterized as “historical monuments” are also worth visiting. The most adventurous can climb up to the top of Mount Dikaios where can visit the church of Christos.
