Samothraki
Another island on the Aegean, Samothraki is renowned for the discovery of the Nike of Samothrace. However, what really makes it shine are the incredible hot springs, waterfalls and rock formations dotting the landscape.

The Giola
The Giola is a pool surrounded by rock on the island of Thassos. The rocks below the water are turquoise in color, sharing the hue with the crystal-clear Mediterranean waters above it, making it a popular spot for swimming.

The Samaria Gorge
The Samaria Gorge looks like something out of a fantasy movie. It would be easy to imagine the action of Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones taking place in this epic expanse of cliffs and wildlife.

Melissani Cave
You’ve probably seen pictures of this, but didn’t know what it was. The cave system opens to a splendid pool surrounded by rocks, where the light from above shines down illuminating the turquoise walls. You can access it by boat or from above.
