In the city of Lakkion, which was built by the Italians shortly before the outbreak of World War II, you can see several interesting objects. For example, the church of St. Nicholas, built as a Catholic church, but now an Orthodox church, or the beautiful church of Agios Theologos, which many consider one of the most beautiful in the entire archipelago. Here, incidentally, are stored and icons of the 11th century. The churches of St. Spyridon, St. George, and St. Zacharias are also worth a look.

Not far from the coastal Agia Marina there is Alinda, the most modern resort of the island. Here, too, there is something to see. The most interesting building in the town is the Belenia mansion, which was built in 1925. At the moment, the completely restored building resembles an ancient fortress with two asymmetrical towers on the sides. The mansion is not only interesting for its architectural solutions of the beginning of the last century, but also for the museums of press and ethnography, as well as the art gallery, located within its walls. There is also a fairly large exposition devoted to the battle for the island in 1943. At the edge of the city, you can see the memorial military cemetery.

Near Partheni you can see an old military base. However, many advise to go there not so much to see the base itself, but for the sake of the chapel of Agia-Kiura. Constructed by the hands of political prisoners, it is completely unattractive outside, but inside is stunningly beautiful and emotionally painted. Officially, the church does not recognize this painting because of the deviation from the generally accepted canons, but the state protects the frescoes as part of the cultural and historical heritage.
