The Pirate Dock of Sarakiniko

Today you'll have the day free so you can visit Sarakiniko, a uniquely beautiful place to enjoy the sea and swim. The landscape resembles a lunar since it lacks any trace of vegetation and the volcanic rocks which have been formed are plain white. The name derives from the Saracene pirates who used this area as a base. In Sarakiniko, you'll find a small beach for the sand lovers but most of all beautiful rocks for spreading out your towel and diving into the crystal clear waters.
