エーゲ海の天然記念物・トップ20

With a bit of luck, you might spot flamingos. I was able to take some nice photos of them.

The last stop on our tour was the 7 Springs, Epta Piges. Unfortunately, it wasn't a highlight, as we had read beforehand, as the springs were producing too little water due to the persistent drought, and the lake was barely recognizable as such. We had already suspected all of this. Instead, we did see a great restaurant with a huge outdoor dining area, which was extremely busy.

The very steep descent consists of loose scree. In some places, it was impossible to stand because the slope began to move. The only support we had was the barbed wire fence.

Great hike with a wonderful view from the mountain village of Zia to the summit with a beautiful chapel below. The trail has an alpine character in places, so it's better to wear sturdy shoes and plan enough time (3-4 hours) as well as enough water (there are no springs etc.) and if necessary, take a jacket etc. in the off-season (cold wind up there)! Have fun 😊

Great mountain hike with fantastic views. Everything can be easily reached by bus from Kos town.

Attracted by the smell of resin from the oriental sweetgum tree, thousands of butterflies cavort here between June and September. The Russian bear, as the butterflies are called, mates here in the valley, lays its eggs here and is therefore very important for the preservation of its species.

The entire valley is crossed by a stream that gushes over the rocks and stones in many places in small waterfalls.

The path to the rock is worth it. Impressive views and wonderful peace. In the past, Skaros had a fortress at the top and served as a watchtower. According to historical data, the fortress was not conquered due to its height and difficult access from the sea. A strong earthquake in the mid-20th century destroyed everything on Skaros and today the only building you can see there is the small church of Theοskеpasti.
