Aga Limani

A nice little cove where you can swim. There is a small beautiful beach that you can swim to from the boat. There is a great hike here – just follow the road that you can clearly see on the right of the small beach. The road that winds around and up the hill must have been the original road used for centuries by the Byzantines or perhaps older civilizations (there is nothing written about this place). Earthquakes have taken their toll, but it is still very clear that this was once a great road. The road is steep and there are lots of stones and hard to get a clear footing, but go slowly and don’t forget to bring water – it’s hot! Once at the top of the road, you will see many ruins spread along the hilltop. Most appear to be Byzantine. It is a wonderful place because you are all alone, save for a few families of locals that have taken residence in a stone yurts down below. It is a great place to have a picnic lunch amongst the ruins of an ancient culture that are over 1600 years old. There is a big old tree at the foot of the ruins that can provide shade. Up here your imagination can really wander as you daydream about Byzantine life. This is a wonderful place, if it is not on your itinerary - ask the captain to stop here!
