Greece

Mount Ainos is not only the highest mountain on the island, but also offers spectacular views and hiking trails. It is also home to a rare and beautiful herd of half-wild horses. You can sometimes find them drinking from the spring at the Zoodohos Pigi Monastery. In addition, you will find a variety of flora here.

When visiting ancient Krani, you can explore the remains of the Acropolis and other archaeological monuments and walk among the ancient walls and foundations that testify to the rich history of the settlement. The Cyclopean blocks left behind by the collapse of the Acropolis still attract attention. Also, this area is free.

Foki Beach looks completely different from all the other beaches on the island. It seems more like a mountain lake surrounded by conifers than a Mediterranean destination. The water is a magnificent shade of green and blue-black, and it's so clear you can see every detail on the sandy and rocky seabed. The rocky bottom, the moored boats and the greenery everywhere as far as the eye can see create a unique atmosphere that is totally unlike anything you'll find in Greece.

The beach is not a beach, that's how Amandakis could be described. It is not exactly a beach, rather a large flat rock from which you have to jump into the sea and thus discover hidden corners under the sea surface. It may not look very appealing, and even we considered whether to visit Amadakis beach at all, but the kids loved the underwater world as a result.

Right next to the Melissani Cave lies the natural gem of Lake Karavomilos. It is formed by underground freshwater springs that mix with seawater from the sea, which is only a few metres away, to create a unique environment with a variety of flora and fauna.

The fortress of Assos, which rises majestically on a rocky outcrop on the northwest coast, is a testament to the island's rich history and strategic importance. What makes Assos Fortress attractive, however, are the breathtaking views and sunsets over the sea, which attract young couples to enjoy the romantic atmosphere.
