 | The itinerary winds through Aleppo and maritime pine forests to reach jagged sea cliffs and rocky creeks with spectacular views at each turn. A wonderful vegetation of myrthe, rosemary, rock rose and sea lavender border the sandy beaches, many of which can only be reached by sea or on foot. The white chalk rocks and limestone cliffs give the water an enticing, crystalline pale blue colour. In the island's interior you will find a traditional land of shepherds and agriculture, rolling hills and meadows bright with wild flowers, horses, mouflon, porcupines and many birds, such as golden eagles and falcons.
