View of the submerged village at the Aposelemis Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

Sunken village abandoned for a drinking water reservoir in 2012. Can be reached from one side via a gravel road. Worth it if the water level is not too high.

Hersonissos Village Square

Highlight • Settlement

Although the fountain does not have a statue anymore and has come down quite well, the village is still worth a visit.

Great tour with fabulous views. Well-developed roads and a few taverns and supermarkets on the way. We avoided gravel roads because we didn't have any good experiences with them (dogs, dead ends, etc.).
