About Longos

It is a cluster of flower-decked houses on the north east coast overlooking a small fishing harbour. There are several mini-markets and a bakery, a couple of bars and a kafenion.

There are small coves in the area of which many can only be reached by boat. Further south is Pounda, with access along a track from the main road.
