We explored the volcanic peninsula of Méthana, where you still can see the last lava flows of the area.
But first we had to do our washing and for this we found a lovely camping, where we stayed directly at the beach for 2 nights (Camping Bekas near Epidavros).

But finally we had to part from this beautiful place as we wanted to explore the peninsula of Méthana just south from our camping.

 |
| Luckily, we had the narrow streets to ourselves |
 |
| Little villages scattered over the hills |
At the village of Kaiméni Chóra, you can clearly see the lava stream of the eruption from the Mid-3rd century BC. There is still no vegetation on the lava rocks, but the little volcano next to the village is a tourist attraction, where you can climb up to get a better impression of the area.

| Rhyodactic lava = explosive volcanic deposits |

| Bizarre rock formations |
 |
| Flower of the Day |
The hills were covered with these beautiful Greek cyclamen. They even grow along the street. It was the first time I have seen this flowers in the wild, which fascinated me.
