Up to a hill there is the famous "Homer's stone" from which the area took it's name. "Daskalopetra", the teacher's (=daskalos) stone (=petra). Here, according to tradition, the famous and beloved blind poet and creator of the two epics, "Iliad" and "Odyssey" - Homer- used to teach his students, to the accompaniment of lyre's melody and the sea opened out magic, before their eyes.
