Arethousa is a picturesque mountain village with a large square ornamented
by the St. Marina church built of slate stone. Here one finds good and cheap goat
meat and other kinds of local food. It is a junction point of mountain tracks,
ideal for bush walkers. There is a forest or arbute trees (koumaries).
Opposite Arethousa to the west are situated Droutsoulas
and Phinikia, the small villages from where the roads descend to the lovely beach
of Kiparissi, ideal for swimming.
