The traditional pottery and carpet-making art is still practiced by some of the inhabitants as well as the confection of high leather boots that many locals still wear.
The Church of the Archangel Michael which is dominating the village and has a fine 19th century campanile as well as the Church of Saint John which houses beautiful frescoes dating back to the 14th century are really worth the visit. Some streets of the village are particularly picturesque because of the traditional houses filling them. Those beautiful houses are painted with vivid colours and have arches and walls beautifully decorated with ceramic plates from the village of Lindos.
On the main square of the village is a post office, banks, a health centre and a taxi rank. Fine accommodations, cafes and taverns are also available.
The castle of Saint John, built by the Knights, is standing on the top of hill at 10-20 minutes walk from the village.
