Sights
The Dimosaris Gorge: through the village of Kallianos, there is access to the last section of the gorge, just before its exit into the Aegean Sea, but one can also walk it in the opposite and more difficult, southern direction, towards Ochi. Also, Agathos is the end of many paths that cross Ochi and Karystia, in general
Notes
i. ^ Other, newer sources report lower altitudes (300, 250 or 200) for the settlement, however the location given by the Google Earth application for the settlement is at 350 meters, in agreement with the old sources
