What to see in Arkoi?

The main charm of Arkoi comes from its crystal-clear sea and the genuine, truly Greek atmosphere that pervades the island. The island is very small and suitable for pleasant walks to small beaches or solitary places in the midst of nature. Below is a list of some things worth seeing or doing on Arkoi.

Augusta
The capital and the only village on the island, it has houses built of exposed stone.

Carcere degli italiani
Located on the opposite side of the island from the port and reachable with a nice walk, it actually consists of the ruins of an old Italian barracks.

Panaghia
A beautiful fifteen-minute walk to the Panaghia church, which, from the top of a hill, offers a beautiful panorama of the nearby islands, especially at sunset.

Archipelago

Panighiri
