Sights

In the village of Spili visitors are impressed by the abundance of water coming out of 25 lion heads, the gorge of Faraggas in Papas region, and the churches of Metamorfosis Sotira, Agios Georgios, Agios Theodoros and Koimisis Theotokou, with their byzantine wall-paintings. It is also worth visiting two watermills still maintained in very good condition. Also, a Venetian bell at Spili dating back to 1618, which is saved in the cathedral (Evaggelismos Theotokou) and has embossed pictures of saints, is a remnant from the years of the Venetian occupation.

Rows of watermills are saved in the valleys of Dariviana and Spili.
