Sunrise … |
We had spent the night at the Laconian Gulf near the island of Elafonisos, directly at the sandy beach. The next morning we enjoyed a great sunrise and soon left for our hike, which started near the village of Profitis Ilias at the parking of a geopark next to a fossil forest (36.440970, 23.141110)
