A
Military Museum
Keen military buffs should march into the Military Museum. The displays span a broad chronological sweep from the Turkish occupation (depicted in grisly paintings) to the 21st century. National servicemen take guided tours (English speakers are supposedly available). Unfortunately, all signage is in Greek.

B
Benakion Archaeological Museum
The Benakion Archaeological Museum is a small, local museum. The 1st-floor prehistoric displays are particularly good, with comprehensive explanations in English. It's just north of Plateia 23 Martiou, signposted off Ypapantis.

C
kastro
Looming over the town is the 13th-century kastro. Remarkably, it survived the 1986 earthquake. The entry gate is its most impressive feature. There's not much else to see, but there are good views from the battlements.
