The Venetian castle was constructed in the early years of the Venetian rule (late 15th, early 16th century). It was probably built in the same place as the old medieval castle. It has towering walls that can be seen from very far away and three gates. One of the gates is decorated with a Venetian lion, symbol of the Venetian Republic. Inside the castle there are the prisons, which are vaulted, low in height and made of stone. There are also ruins of churches and the restored gunpowder room with its huge walls. The view from the Castle is absolutely breathtaking.

This is a beach with thick sand and -almost always- calm waters. The trademark of the area is a rock of clay at the end of the beach.

The Blue Caves were discovered in 1897 and are located on the north side of the island not far from Skinari. What makes them special, apart from their morphology, is the deep blue color of the water inside the caves as well as the countless corals, in purple and orange colors.
