Natural History Photographs


After the first day with various stops along the road, we arrived at our friendly hotel, near Kavousi, on the way to Tholos beach. Close to Tholos beach, there is an archaeological site - nothing too spectacular, but still: with the remains of the buildings you feel connected to a society from long gone days. I like these sites, where nature and culture go hand in hand. And since it's not the premier league, there is no fence, no entrance fee - you just walk into history.
