This is a traditional fishing village with very few inhabitants and multi-coloured two-storeyed houses in the natural concavities of the rocks. The family lived on the first floor while on the ground floor, known as "syrmata", the fishermen kept their boats. Nowadays, the majority of "syrmata" are for rent.
Furthermore, here you can also visit the ruins of the old city and the island’s first port. After the decline and destruction of Filakopi, the Dorians built the second biggest city of the island (1100BC.-800BC.) which extends from the south part of Trypiti to Klima. You can visit the two acropolises of the settlement (the hill of Prophitis Ilias and Pyrgaki) and you can see parts of the wall of the ancient agora, parts of the temple that dates back to the Hellenistic and Roman period, parts of the ancient theatre as well as the place where the Venus de Milo was discovered (120BC) in 1820.
