A hillside village at about 291 m, 49 km from Mytilene, with cobbled alleys, old fountains and 19th-century stone mansions, named after the mulberry trees that grew here. It was the birthplace of the writer Stratis Myrivilis, commemorated by a statue and by the mulberry tree in the square; its small harbour, Skala Sykaminias, is dominated by the chapel of Panagia Gorgona built on a rock at the water's edge.
