Perched on the hillside above the harbour at °²¹±ô±ð°ìö²â is 'High °²¹±ô±ð°ìö²â' (formerly Kastro), a pretty village built around a ruined Genoese fortress. Overlooking the Aegean island of Samothrace (Samothraki), most of its buildings date from the time when its residents were Greek; all were forced out in the 1960s and 1970s. There's a disused church, a charming coffee shop, a couple of restaurants, a number of pensions and two boutique hotels. A dolmuÅŸ (minibus) links both it and the harbour with Merkez.
Down on the harbour, the beach and nearby fish restaurants are popular with touring Turks. The coastline between °²¹±ô±ð°ìö²â and Kuzulimanı forms a sualtı milli parkı (national marine park).
