[2] In the neighboring village of Tatul, approximately 12 km (7.5 miles) north of Kos, the archaeological site known as Orpheus' Sanctuary is located in the Kaya Basha area.

This sanctuary, which began construction in the late Bronze Age, is believed to have been a revered site dedicated to a deified Thracian king, Orpheus.

When Christianity was adopted in the Rhodope Mountains in the late 4th century, the site was repurposed into a secular estate.

A notable natural site is the Petrified Forest located in the neighboring village of Raven, within a deep valley locally known as Gabaz Dere.

This protected natural landmark, approximately 30 million years old, features fossilized trees and attracts biologists, naturalists, and eco-tourists, particularly during the summer months.
