Nice view from the mountain, fresh air, a rough landscape dominated by stone and low flora. Amazingly clear sky at nights.

People are friendly and warm. (I hope it´s not because they want to ´sell´.) It´s not certain that they actually make the products sold as ´tradition al´. (Try ´galaktobu reko´ for once. It´s worthwhile).

Buildings are a bit ugly though. Not much of tradition or style in their architecture, except the little square.

Lots of cars parked everywhere, making noise and obstructing traffic.

´Nida´ is beautiful, as well as the way to ´Shinakas´.

As a whole, Anogia is worth paying a visit.
