Theoktistis Monastery

Pigi near the village is the monastery of Theoktistis (Μονή Θεοκτίστης). It is named after a nun of the same name from Lesbos. The monastery was founded in Byzantine times. The first church was built under rocks around 1300 AD. During the heyday, at the end of the 15th century, the monastery was inhabited by around 100 monks. The monastery has been abandoned since 1982.
Kambos (Κάμπος ( m. Sg. )), In the area of the village is the ancient city of Ini (Οινόη), which was the capital of the island from ancient times to Byzantine times. The ancient port that was at the mouth of the Voutside River was silted up by alluvial material from the river and is now off the sea. Ruins of the city wall, the stadium and some buildings are still visible from the city. Wine production brought wealth to the place, which is why contributions were paid into the federal treasury of the Attic League . The Kambos Museum is located next to the Agia Irini Church, which was built on the ruins of an ancient Dionysus temple. In addition to finds from antiquity, the museum also houses tools from the Neolithic Age.
