Heading downhill from the main square, then taking your first main left will get you to the tavernas clustered around the springs in the lower village. Towering chestnut and plane trees and luxuriant vegetation create a shady, restful spot for lunch among the waterfalls and fountains that have been incorporated into all the tavernas. It’s especially lovely on a summer night. Aside from the tavernas, you’ll find a 17th-century water-driven fulling machine , once used to thicken cloth by moistening and beating it, as well as the overgrown remains of a Roman bath and St Mary’s Church , built atop a temple dedicated to Poseidon.
