Frolicking and Photos
A short drive from the harbor takes us to famous Sarakiniko beach and its landmark white rocks. Naturally sculpted by volcanic eruptions, the sea and strong Aegean winds, it’s the ideal backdrop for your snapshots. No wonder why it is one of the favorite photography subjects in the Cyclades. We’ll walk down to the inlet in quest of intriguing photo opportunities and for swimming of course. You’ll feel as if you’ve landed on the moon!
The picturesque village of Plaka, at the feet of the venetian castle, comes next. A love at first sight! We’ll stroll through its cobblestone alleys, pass by traditional houses and blooming bougainvilleas. We have time to savor karpouzopita and koufeto, the local sweet delicacies at pastry shops, or head to the marble courtyard of Korfiatissa church for the best panoramic views – it’s right next to the Folklore Museum, which we can visit optionally.
Last but not least, our tour to Kleftiko. We drive by coach to Kipos, passing by Papikinos beach and the Salt fields. On board “Delfinia” boat we start our journey towards Kleftiko, once a pirate lair that has become an absolute must for any traveler. Its greyish rocks come out of the turquoise sea and you have the chance to swim through the sea caves. On the way to Kleftiko, the boat will make a shorter swimming stop at Gerondas beach.
