Morning starts with dramatic waves along the coast as rain turns the rocks into deep shades of grey. At noon, small rock overhangs provide temporary shelter from the showers while watching the wild Aegean. Afternoon leads towards Agia Pelagia, where the lake surface dances under the rainfall. Evening ends cozily in one of the weather-proof taverns, listening to the sea.

The winter breeze blows fresh from the sea, while the empty beaches radiate a meditative calm. At noon, the low sun gently warms the hiking paths between the rocks. In the afternoon, we reach the lagoon just before the sun disappears behind the hills around 17:00. The evening belongs to the silence of the small harbor over a hot cup of tea.
