Aetofolia

The last of village of all Kato Meri… Small community, “favored” by the winds, built on the North Wind mountain with beautiful view to Kalloni and Karkados village and also to the lowlands. You can notice the characteristics of Cycladic architecture found at the pebbled neat courtyards, the island paths and the whitewashed houses, but what impresses more is the Museum of Traditional Pottery, with its interesting collection of ceramics. Nearby, you can see the ruins of the medieval town of Maiden Tower and the plateau of the Plain of War.

Agapi

The church of Aghios Agapitos at Griza, with the springs and the stream with the pigeon houses gave its name to the village. Spread at a slope, among prickly pears, this beautiful village boasts of the traditional architecture of its buildings, the lintels decorated with folk motifs and the Tinian old wash house. At the old school a Museum of Photography is being established, in order to record and save the photographs on the island. From Agapi village, you can get to the monastery of Panagia Vourniotissa (1670), covering a distance of 4km on a dirt road.
