Psara

Ψαρά

A quiet island with an exceptional place in the history of the Greek War of Independence, combining memorial landscapes, harbour life and beaches.

Directions

Psara has a quiet present and an exceptional place in the memory of the Greek War of Independence. Around the harbour and settlement, monuments and historic sites recall the island's dramatic 19th-century story, while the open landscape and beaches give the visit a calm, remote character today. A day trip works best when you leave time for both the history and the simple pleasure of being on a small Aegean island.
