Sardes is a mountainous and rather isolated village. It is referred
to as Ardeiai since 1284. The houses are typical examples of Limnian rural architecture.
Stone built with two stories. They have an external staircase bringing to the
balcony. People used to live upstairs, while the place downstairs was used for
the animals. Most of the houses had a small courtyard with a wall built around
it.
