Off Road in a 4 X 4

We hired a Suzuki Jimny for seven days. You can explore the tracks that are not really advisable in a car.
There is no rush and you drive carefully to avoid rock damage to tyres and the car.

Laganas bay from Marathia

Laganas Bay glimpsed through the trees.

Limni Keri looking towards Laganas.

Dafni beach has a bar and restaurant.

Dafni beach is also quite rocky and popular for snorkling.

The highest point on the island is Mount Vrachionas and you get a wonderful view of the whole eastern seaboard from Mount Skopos which you can see just in the centre distance to.............

...........Port Nikolaos and the Blue Caves.......

.....with a wonderful view of Alikes and Alikanas.
In the centre are the salt ponds.

Alikes and Alikanas share a long stretch of beach. The track leading to the top of the mountain starts in the village of Gyri but it is not easy to find so stop at the red and white taverna for a drink first. The track is about 30 metres from the taverna on the opposite side and is just a gap between two small buildings.

The taverna in Gyri.........

.......as you walk through to the courtyard draped with grapevines, you can see the old tools of the carpenters craft.
