Kallithea

The village of Kallithea, known for the wonderful sunset views of the North Aegean, is located on the western side of the island. Formerly the settlement was known as Prinias, a name owed to the many oaks existing oaks (“prinos” in Greek) and Kalabachtashi, which means observatory in the Turkish language. Just outside the village, you will find the green area of Askitaria (Hermitage), filled with small chapels and caves, where monks used to live. Finally, for the sea-lovers, we would suggest that they visit the deserted pebble beach of Varsamo and enjoy its crystal clear waters.
