About 200 steps lead up to the chapel of Ágios Ioánnis sto Kastrí, which are sometimes steep and narrow. Once at the top you have a good view of the neighboring island of Alónnisos.
Behind the Koukounariés beach lies the Koukounariés biotope with Lake Strofiliá. The area is a nature reserve. With a little luck, you can observe water birds here.
