About
The trip starts from the beautiful beach Mikros Gialos , we paddle near the coast in south east direction. We learn information, from the guides, about the geological phenomena and the interesting history of the area. The final destination of our trip is the beach Fteri. Fteri is the Greek name of the fern plant and the beach is called because there are many ferns in the area. We will have the chance to enjoy the crystal clear waters for swimming and the tranquility which offers the secluded beach, while at the same place we will stay for relaxation and lunch. However, until we reach our final destination, we will make many stops on remote beaches for swimming and snorkeling, and we will be given the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful seabed full of big red starfish. On our way back, we will visit another spectacular Blue Cave with the hidden entrance.
