South Paros

blue cave coverOn this day trip we start from the quiet beach of Tripiti. Moving west we explore the rocky coast and play into rock gardens that we meet along the way. We come across big limestone cliffs that are surrounded by crystal clear blue waters and stop for a snack and swim in a natural 'pool', a tightly enclosed rocky cove that has served as a hideout for a famous war-lord during the Greek revolution of the year 1821. 

 

We resume paddling and head into the big roofless cave, an amazing place that is best visited with a sea kayak. Along some high rock cliffs, ideal for Deep Water Solo climbing we reach a couple of tranquil sandy beaches that will offer us our lunch spot. Faraggas, a famous beach on the island is just around the corner and a short visit to it completes our route.
