Today we started our exploration with kayaks, swimming, and Zodiacs at the Kleftiko Caves (The Bandits’ Lair) where pirates would use the many caves and secluded coves to plan their attack on ships passing by. This volcanic island is the primary source of obsidian, and we enjoyed a view of the abandoned bentonite mines.

The afternoon was spent discovering the hilltop town of Plaka and Sarakiniko, with an unforgettable lesson in Greek mythology sitting within the ancient theatre of Tripiti.
