Kastro is considered the oldest village on the island. The walls and roofs of the houses are built of stone. It was named after a castle built in 1403, and the ruins of the wall still make a huge impression. In the village, there is the church of St. Athanasius, which was built in 1804 in a record time of 40 days after obtaining the relevant permission of the Sultan. Kastro village is rich in history, and you will be sure to enjoy the learning experience and the views from the village itself.

Then take the mountain road to the top of Mount Ipsarion. Ypsarion is the island's highest peak at 1,206 meters. Here, you will enjoy 360-degree views of Mount Athos, Kavala, Golden Beach, and maybe even the islands of Lemnos and Samothrace. On the way, see how nature is changing. From the top, the views are unforgettable and here is also time to take some great photos.

Enter the Shelter, a viewpoint that is 910 meters above the sea level. From here you will have amazing views of Golden Beach, while you take a break.
