Vathi, which is protected from the winds in the homonymous bay is the island's capital.

At the southern part of the island, 5 klm. away from Vathi, the visitor arrives at Perahori, a mainland community.

To the northern part of the island there are two roads. The first one goes through Anogi, a mountainous village on Mount Nirito whereas the second, parallel to the coast, goes through Lefki, picturesque village 13 klm. from Vathi.

Both roads end to Stavros, and from there you can continue to Exogi, Platrithias, Frikes and Kioni. All over the island there are many beaches where you can enjoy swimming and relax gazing at the peaceful landscape.
