 |
The tourist bus continues to Kamiros. |

Near Kamiros there is an important archaeological site in Greece, where ancient ruins dated up to 5 centuries B.C. are very well preserved. The site represents a city with temples, acropolis, homes and an enormous cistern used as water recipient. |
|
 |
| We then climb the mountains to reach the small community of Sianna. |
 |
 |
 |
| In Sianna we visit the Aghios Panteleimon church, before having a lunch stop. |
 |
The bus then reaches Prasonisi, in the southernmost point of the island, where the Aegean and Mediterranean seas meet together. |
 |
 |
 |
The point where the Aegean and Mediterranean seas meet together is curious and impressive. In fact, the Mediterranean sea is always calm, while the Aegean sea has always powerful weaves, although the two seas are just a few meters between them and separated by just a tongue of sand (sometimes disappearing completely). The place is also very windy and, for all these reasons, the place is a paradise for windsurf and skysurf lovers. |
