Food scene
One of the best fish/mezes(tapas) type of restaurant on the back of the island overlooking the sea from a very scenic outdoor area. You can enjoy delicious food after a nice hike or walk. Reservations might be required, has a private beach.

Sightseeing
You can hike to this place in 50min from center. Make sure you carry water and sunscreen/sunglasses. It’s an old very tiny chapel built on top of an ancient greek temple. There are few hints of Greek->Roman->Ottoman transition. Chapel might get opened for you if the house keeper is present at the moment. Carry some cash for a donation opportunity.
Honestly, I enjoy the scenic hike more than the structure. You can continue this hike to Kalpazankaya Restaurant for beach/dinner.
