Gáïos
The island's capital,
GÁÏOS
, is a pleasant town built around a small square in the middle
of an elongated seafront overlooking two islands, Áyios Nikólaos and Panayía. Nearly
all the town's facilities are to be found on the seafront or within little over 100m of it.
Folk Museum
June to mid-Sept daily 10am-2pm & 7-11pm • €2
The island's only museum, the
Folk Museum
, is housed in an old school building on the
seafront about 200m south of the main square. One room is set up as an eighteenth-century
bedroom with some period furniture and costumes. Other items on display from different
epochs include kitchen implements, musical instruments, china, stationery and guns.
Around Gáïos
Inland
are some of the island's oldest settlements, such as Oziás and Vellianitátika,
in prime walking country but with scarcely any facilities. The
coast south
of Gáïos is
punctuated by the odd shingly cove, none ideal for swimming, until matters
improve towards the tip at
Mogoníssi beach
, which shares some of Andípaxi's
sandier geology.

Longós and around
LONGÓS
is the prettiest village on the island, though it's dominated by the upmarket
villa crowd. Its scruffy beach is favoured by local grannies for the sulphur springs, so
most people swim of
Levrehió beach
in the next bay south. Longós is at the bottom of
a steep winding hill, making
walking
a bit of a chore, but the short circuit around
neighbouring
Dhendhriátika
provides spectacular views and allows access to the small
