The Agia Matrona is located on the south side of the village and contains beautiful frescoes from the 18th century. This church is really worth a visit. I think it's one of the most beautiful churches I've seen. The murals tell the story of Creation and the Fall, Eve gives Adam the apple and the expulsion from Paradise. Also in the south of the village is the church of Agia Pelagia. This church does not contain frescoes, but it's nice to see. You will have to look for this church, because you've already passed it before you know it. It is at the beginning of the hike at a small cluster of houses and it stands behind the first house - you can not see him from the path. If you've taken a look at this church follow the path back up if you want to walk to the church with the frescoes. Finally at the coast there is the newer large church of Kampos.
The beach of Kampos is called Svala Beach and this is just a quiet pebble beach with a taverna. You reach it over a small road and at the end it turns into a path.
