This half day trip gives you the opportunity to visit some of the Rodopou peninsula beaches. Our first stop, the hidden cove of Menies, is located at the northeastern tip of the Rodopou peninsula and was the port of the ancient site of Diktynna, that was the most important temple of the goddess Vritomartis, which is believed to be goddess Artemis. After a refreshing swim on the pebbly beach,we move to the next beach Limnionari for a swim and Choironisia, where you can find sea caves, which have been created naturally over time, and are open to exploration. Our last stop is the small, secluded Sfako beach. After that, we made our way back to Kolymbari.
This trip is available during morning or afternoon hours.
