        white pebbles known as "Lalaria," shaped like small eggs over centuries. (Duration: 1–1.5 hours). 

        The Medieval Stronghold of Kastro: Journey back in time at Kastro, the rocky fortress that served as the island's capital until the late 1700s. 
        Built to protect residents from pirate invasions, it offers a glimpse into the past with its ancient churches and ruins. Choose to swim in the 
        cove below or hike up to the summit for spectacular panoramic views of the Northern Aegean. (Duration: 1.5 hours).
