Mikro Seitani

A visit to Potami is worthwhile. This is a stream with natural water falls shaded by sycamore trees. It is just a few miles W of Karlovasi. Very beautiful, natural setting. The scenery is not what one would usually associate with Aegean islands. You can swim there.

Also, a hike to the Mikro and Megalo Seitani (Μικρό and Μεγάλο Σεϊτάνι) is well worth the effort.
