Afterwards, you can return to Vathy and lead the road to Zoodochos Pigi, a fork road terminates you to Vlamari. Located here is the very old ruins Church of Agia Zoni. In 1695 a loyal priest was aided by the residents to build a new church which finally became a monastery.

It is worth stopping at the monastery to admire the wall murals dating back to the 17th century, the wooden iconostasis that was crafted in 1801 as well as the small 19th century icons that adorn the church.

Also another notable monastery, Zoodochos Pigi of Kotsika is located 5 km. away from Vathy which took its name from the remembrance of the vision of a priest from New Ephesus who around 1730 saw in his sleep an icon of the Virgin Mary at the roots of a cedar tree (by local dialect kotsika). When he dug up the roots he actually found the icon and he finally built a complete monastery around the old church. 

At the foot of monastery lies the beach of Mourtia. In addition to that beach Psili Ammos beach is very famous on the island. In addition to these beaches Kerveli and Platanaki which are located after Paleokastro are also popular.
