The village gracefully represents the traditional Cycladic architecture style, with white buildings and blue strokes of color. Its most important sights are two churches; the church of Saint Spyridon dating back to the early 19th century, and the church of Saint George was built in 1849. The latter incorporates charming mosaics and a marble plaque that depicts Saint George on his horse. Furthermore, Karodromos (meaning cart road) is the main road of the village, where many shops and services are situated.

During Easter, some unique customs take place in Triovasalos. The locals participate in the burning of an effigy of Judas as a symbol of punishing the traitor of Jesus. Additionally, in a field between Triovasalos and Pera Triovasalos, young men throw firecrackers in each other's direction, with the winners being those who make the most noise.
