Enjoy browsing vibrant alleyways, shopping for unique souvenirs, tasting local wines from Vallindras Distillery, or simply savoring a cup of coffee at one of the charming cafes. Continue through the picturesque countryside, passing through ancient olive groves, to reach Panagia Drosiani Church, an architectural marvel dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

For those interested in religious sites, on Tuesdays and on May 1st, tourists have the opportunity to visit Filoti Village instead of Demeter's Temple. Take the time to explore the central church and listen to the moving tale of its construction, accompanied by a brief visit to the nearby folklore museum.
