 Aghios Stefanos (Avliotes or Agios Stefanos) is situated in a beautiful natural setting on the island's North-West coast. Set against a backdrop of hills and greenery it is a quiet but friendly resort with a horseshoe shaped bay surrounded by a long, sandy beach. It is a former fishing village. Still unspoilt, the village successfully blends its summer visitors with local Greek life, ensuring an atmosphere of relaxation and quiet conviviality. |
 Avliotes is a handsome hill village with a few shops and an old-fashioned kafenio, which is great for people watching. There is an abundance of attractive traditional island architecture, but its most impressive building is the eighteenth-century church of Iperagias Theotokou Odigitrias, which stands proudly on a huge platform at the top of the village. Unfortunately, it is usually locked but you can admire the solid structure and its two belfries, one attached to the body and a smaller one free-standing beside the church. There is also a small cemetery in the corner of the church grounds.
