Tourist Attractions
- 1 church Agios Efksentios: The Church of St. Auxentios the Cypriot is a single-nave church with barrel vaults and a cloister on the west and south sides. Some of the oldest construction phases cannot be clearly dated and probably date from the time of early Christianity. Some alterations were made in the 16th century, as well as in the 18th and 19th centuries (vaults). The porch was built in 1842. Restoration work was completed in February 2015, during which some interesting things came to light: three arches, now closed, on the north side, indicating the presence of a previous church; a door frame, also on the north side; Wall paintings from the first half of the 16th century.
