Paloi

A coastal settlement with sandy beaches, fish restaurants and access to other beaches of the village like Lies and Pachia Ammos. Admire the Panagia Thermiani and the ippokrateia baths. The village operates a marina for private boats. It is estimated that 15-20 vessels on average are moored daily from early April to late October

Nikia

This village has a particular and characteristic architecture. It is built on the ledge of the caldera, gazing at the Aegean on the one side and the craters on the other side.

The pebbled elliptical square of the village is impressive and the only volcanological museum in Greece, the Church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary and the houses with typical single incline roofs, will fascinate you. The Monastery of Saint John the Theologian and the Monastery of Panagia Kyra are the rest of the village’s sights.

Emporios

Small mountain village, with the Castle of Pantoniki and the Church of Taxiarchis. You can enjoy the excellent view of the volcano’s caldera. At the entrance of the village there is a cave that due to the heat from the volcanic activity of the island, is considered a natural sauna. In the past it was a large and populous village, but today it seems desolate, since very few inhabitants remain there during the winter.
