The popular square Plateia Agios Markos in the heart of the town is almost a carbon copy of what it was before the 1953 earthquake. It may look like a cinema set with its almost too perfect pastel-coloured Italian façades and its arcades, but it certainly comes to life when young people and tourists congregate there come evening. To the left of the pointed bell tower of the Catholic church is that of the Dionysios Solomos museum, the final resting place of the poet, next to Andreas Kalvos.
