Karystos: The turquoise cape with winding roads and minimal houses
Enjoy a special flight over a heavenly cape.
We fly over the Paximada peninsula of Karystos, Greece which is an earthly paradise. It is located southwest of the city of Karystos. This is a place with lacy shores. It has continuous turquoise coves and a double beach, called Kolona, ​​where you can swim on both sides. Depending on the direction of the wind, on the one hand there may be a wave but on the other hand there is calm.
The area has another "paradox". It has a labyrinthine asphalt road network with no houses. The reason is that most of it belongs to OSMAES (Building Cooperative of Permanent Officers of the Greek Army) and has the entire road network ready according to its road plan.
At Agia Paraskevi beach there is a small beach bar and wonderful, turquoise, shallow waters.
Enjoy the flight.

Rare drone view of the only fossil palm forest in Europe
Unique in Europe is the fossilized palm forest located at the southern tip of the Peloponnese, in Laconia, near the village of Agios Nikolaos Vion. In a landscape of rare, wild natural beauty, palm trunks and roots (the holes and "bumps" seen in many places in the video) have been uncovered, ranging in age from two to three million years.
According to experts, at that time the climate here was subtropical and there was extensive forest, which was fossilized in a unique way, as the sea level rose and the water covered the trees. The whole area has been transformed into a geological park, with information signs, while in the summer guided tours are organized.
The Geopark of the coastal zone of Agios Nikolaos is included in the Atlas of the Geological Monuments of the Aegean and today claims with strong foundations a place in the Network of Geoparks of Europe.
In the coastal sites of Agia Marina, Korakas and Spitha, the fossilized witnesses of a distant past keep the secrets and codes of their time. The findings of Agios Nikolaos are unique in Europe and of inestimable scientific importance.
Geological disturbances, earthquakes and volcanic activity led to the fossilization of the old flora of the area, millions of years before our era. The organic matter of trees, plants and mollusks was replaced molecule by molecule by solutions of silicon and calcium in a patient process that took place under the sea.
Root nodes that reach a diameter of 1m and a number of fossilized creatures, are preserved today in a large area of ​​the beach of Agios Nikolaos and are a geological museum of incalculable value that occupies its place among the protected natural monuments.
To visit it, head from Agios Nikolaos to the picturesque port of Profitis Ilias. Just before there is a sign that points to Agia Marina and Petrified Forest. We follow the dirt road for 3.3 km to reach the monument of nature. In between and just before you reach the church of Agia Marina you will meet a place with information about this geological park.

Drone view of the stadium where only wolves and deers are training
Enjoy a flight over the abandoned SEGAS stadium in Parnitha, Athens, Greece at 1000 meters altitude. Wolves and deer are now "training" in this once noisy stadium, as evidenced by the traces that exist in the muddy tartan.
Destroyed by the forest fires of 2007 and forgotten, at an altitude of 1,048 meters, the SEGAS stadium was a real gem. It had no lighting, no concrete construction, it "connected" with the environment. The fires of 2007 burned almost everything in their path, destroyed the facilities around the track that is still in excellent condition (the tartan has been damaged in a few places along the way) and all you can find are ashes and debris. Even the small road in front of the stadium is in a "tragic" state.
If you want to workout in the fresh air, peeps and some proud trees still standing, SEGAS stadium is a great choice. It is, after all, close to Athens.
Going up Parnithos Avenue, you will find the old Sanatorium and the Park of Souls. Leave the car there and walk about 15 minutes on the road that passes in front of the Sanatorium and you will find the SEGAS stadium on your left.
Enjoy the flight!

We fly over a place of historical memory and respect, in which the liberation of Greece from the Turkish yoke in 1821 was "signed", in Navarino, Messinia. There is a Siberian-style Russian church, at the monument to the Russian Fallen.
The Monument to the Russian Fallen is located on the small island of Sfaktiria, off Pylos, in Messinia. It was stationed there in 1872, on the 45th anniversary of the Battle of Navarino, and was funded by the Russian Navy.
The Monument to the Russian Fallen is dedicated to the 59 dead Russian sailors and the 141 wounded, the tragic account of the naval battle.
In the center of the Monument to the Russian Fallen, on the altar, there is a marble plaque that reads: "In memory of those lost in the naval battle of Navarino on October 8 (20) 1827 and buried nearby." Around the slab are to this day the cypress trees planted in 1889 by Russian sailors who demanded honor from their compatriots.
The crew of Russian warships still visit the monument to the Russian fallen during their voyages to Greece and pay tribute.
Near the Monument of the Russian Fallen is the church of the Resurrection of the Lord, where services are held and the fallen are commemorated. In 1960, a column depicting the anchor and coat of arms of the Soviet Union was placed near the marble slab. The inscription on the column reads that it was placed "τιμή in honor of the Russian sailors who were heroically lost in the naval battle of Navarino".

Drone view of picturesque Nafplio, Greece and its cactus forest
Did you know that there is a place in Greece where there are countless natural Greek cacti (prickly pears) and they create a setting reminiscent of far-west and all this next to a very popular and picturesque city?
We fly over the hill of Arvanitia, in Nafplio, where nature has created this incredible scene.
A vast forest of prickly pears creates in Greek standards a setting with cacti that we see only in foreign deserts.
This peculiar "forest" is located inside the castle of Akronafplia and is surrounded by sea.
The steep cliffs full of prickly pears hang almost vertically and end up in the sea.
At sea level there is an amazing walk, the so-called "Arvanitia Tour", where visitors walk on a paved path by the sea under the shade of this peculiar cactus forest. In fact, they have left their "mark" on many of them, engraving on them names and dates. Definitely worth a visit. Enjoy the flight!

The most creepy alternative museum: The Park of Souls
Enjoy a flight over the most creepy open "museum" in Greece, the Park of Souls in Parnitha.
Inspired by the history of the Parnitha Sanatorium, the sculptor Spyridon Dassiotis chose the space opposite the imposing and full of memories, now abandoned Sanatorium to create, on a non-profit basis, "The Park of Souls". A set of sculptures from burnt tree trunks from the surrounding area of ​​Sanatorium. The sculptor did not simply carve trunks. He gave "life" to dead tree trunks, thus expressing the feelings held by the inmates of the Sanatorium during the period of their confinement.
Exhibits such as "The pregnant woman", "The cross of martyrdom", "The nostalgia of the mother for the child she left behind", "The couple", "The ear", "The feather", "The reasoning" etc. compose this alternative -if not else- museum.
All this, at 1000 meters above sea level and at 40 minutes from the center of Athens, Greece.

Drone footage shows two ports side-by-side, but 2,500 years apart
We bring to light the unknown sunken port of Ancient Eretria, which is only 30 meters from the modern port, but is separated by 2,400 years from it.
This jetty is the western end of the port of Eretria. It is a monumental construction of raw stones that extends for about 600 meters in a direction from NW to NNA. At its NNA end, where the lighthouse of the modern port is located, it faces east for about 55 meters, closing protecting, from the south, the entrance of the port.
The first 300 meters of the construction are covered by a modern jetty which after these first meters runs parallel to the ancient along its entire length.
The ancient construction along its entire length maintains a constant width (8 meters) and is located -86 cm lower than the current sea level. The original construction dates back to the beginning of the second half of the 4th century BC with some reinforcing modifications at the beginning of the 3rd century BC. century.
The first reference of Eretria to the ancient Greek literature is made in the Homeric epics (Ilias B, 537) where together with the other Evian cities it participates in the Trojan campaign.
The city owes its great flourishing to the maritime trade during the 9th and 8th BC. century. The city's trade contacts with the Eastern Mediterranean are close, mainly with the region of Syria, Palestine and Cyprus. Eretria flourishes and great prosperity of the city is placed in the 8th BC. century, a period that participates in the 2nd Greek colonization, together with Chalkida, founding in 775 BC. in the Gulf of Naples the Monkeys (today's Ischia). While in the North Aegean the main colony of Eretria is Mendi in Halkidiki.
At the end of the 8th BC. century the great controversy broke out between Chalkida and Eretria for the occupation of the Lilantian field, which ends with a possible defeat of Eretria.
In ancient Greek literature the memory of an Eretrian sea empire is strong, an echo of the events of the geometric and early archaic period.
The name of the city itself is etymologically explained as a derivative of the noun Eretmon and wants to indicate the "rowing city with its constantly flowing inhabitants" according to the proposal of archaeologist Nikolaos Kontoleontos.
Related to the purely naval character of the city are both the epigraphically documented beginning of the Aeneauts, directly connected with the Eretrian navigation, a principle already active in the 6th century BC, and the cult in the closed port of the Eretrian naval hero Nafstolos.
According to an inscription which was found integrated in a modern wall, in the area of ​​the present port, during the first half of the 6th BC. century Eretria controls with its fleet both the southern and the northern passage of the Evoikos to the open sea.
During the Ionian revolt, Eretria helps the revolted Ionians by sending 5 five triremes as help. This destruction is due to its destruction by the Persians in 480 BC. The city of Eretria participates in the naval battle of Artemisio with 7 seven triremes.
Eretria takes part in the Athenian Alliance from which it renounced in 411 BC. year in which the Spartans destroy the Athenian fleet in the port of Eretria.
After 411 BC. The first community of Evia is founded, with Eretria as its seat.
Between 377- 357 BC. Eretria belongs to the Second Athenian Alliance, while between 341 and 338 BC. the public of Evia is re-established.
In the period of the successors, the control of the strategy of the position makes it the apple of the Dispute for the Macedonian kingdoms.
Important is the historical period mentioned that the city is ruled by the Eretrian Cynic philosopher Menedemos, who ruled the city in the first half of the beginning of the 3rd century BC. .Χ. century until he was exiled in 274 BC.
In 198 BC. the city is occupied and destroyed by the Leucian brother of the Roman Titus Quintus Flaminus, victor of Pydna.
Flamininos gives the city partial independence and re-establishes the Evia public, in which Eretria also participates.
The city, although it does not maintain its original prosperity, continues to exist until the 7th AD. century in the same place, a period when the fear of pirates pushes the inhabitants to move it inland, to the security offered by the wooded slopes of Mount Eretria.
In 87 BC. Eretria allied with Mithridates and was completely destroyed for the second time by the Romans in 86 BC.

These giant imposing craters awe the visitor. From above they are an incredible, eerie, alien spectacle.
Scientists are divided over their origin. Others claim that it is a doline (cave top that fell down) - but there is no cave nearby and it must have been huge if it existed - and others claim that it is a meteorite crater, like those on the moon.
The absolute silence that prevails inside them is broken only by the chirping of the birds that find shelter in the vegetation that exists inside them.

This little piece of Paradise is only 40 mins from Athens, Greece
Did you know that in about 40 minutes from the center of Athens there is a unique place.
A sunken boat, a lonely island with a small church like it is from postcards and turquoise waters that look like a painting, compose this little piece of paradise on the outskirts of Athens.
We fly over Vravrona, Attica, south of Artemis, a place that in ancient times was a pole of attraction, which is why the Temple of Artemis was built there.
A few words about the area:
Vravrona is an important archeological site of Attica, known for the temple of Artemis that has given its name to the modern municipality of eastern Attica, but also to the neighboring coastal settlement of Loutsa (current name Artemis). It was built in a creek on the shores of the South Evian Gulf, near the current settlement of Loutsa. It was first inhabited from the Neolithic era. In the time of Theseus (Bronze Age) Vravrona was one of the 20 municipalities that united and formed the later Athenian state. Gradually, Bravrona became a place of worship for Artemis and a temple dedicated to her was built. According to legend during the Trojan campaign, the goddess Artemis demanded the sacrifice of Iphigenia to let the Mycenaean fleet sail to Troy. At the time of the sacrifice, Artemis saved Iphigenia and transported her to the land of the Bulls on the shores of the Black Sea. Iphigenia returned from there to Greece with the help of her brother Orestes. According to a variation of the myth conveyed by Euripides, Iphigenia on her return arrived in the area of ​​Vravrona and became a priestess of Artemis.
The cult of Artemis in the area of ​​Vravrona seems to have started in the 8th century BC, while the temple was built in the 6th century BC. In the following years there was a significant expansion of the place of worship. This extension of the prehistoric Bravrona took place in the times after the Mycenaean era and probably during the Geometric times. Among the ancient writers, Herodotus, Euphoria and Nonnus place Vravrona near the sea. Gradually, however, after the Athenian wars with the Macedonians, the area began to decline and seems to have been abandoned in the 2nd century BC, probably after floods. In fact, three centuries later, the traveler Pausanias mentions almost nothing about the region of Vravrona, except the myth mentioned by Euripides about the return of Iphigenia. The last references of the ancient place name "Vravron" are found during the Byzantine times in the grammar Theognostos (9th century AD) and in the dictionary of Souda (10th century AD)

Between the islet and the shore lies an ancient city, submerged a few meters below the surface, about 5 millennia old. It is unique in its kind as it has a concrete design with streets, buildings and a cemetery. Discovered in 1967 by Nicholas Flemming and mapped in 1968 by a team from the University of Cambridge. There are at least 15 buildings at a depth of 3 to 4 meters and recent surveys of 2009 have revealed that it extends to 9 acres. Initially it was estimated that the city was built around 1600-1100 BC. but later investigations revealed through findings that the city was inhabited before 2800 BC, at the beginning of the Bronze Age. It is believed that the city sank in 1000 BC.

Dog's Cape: A secret exotic paradise in Greece
We discover for the first time an unknown exotic sailor's paradise via drone. Dog's Cape or Tselevinia, Poros, a place endowed with turquoise waters and "blue lakes" where Poros scavengers (and not only) find their refuge to experience the unique beauty of the Greek sea reminiscent of tropical countries.

Cape Skyllaio along with Cape Sounio and the island of Saint George of Lavreotiki mark the boundaries of the Saronic Gulf.
According to one version, the name Skyllaio comes from Skylla, daughter of the King of the Great Nisos, whose body was washed away in the area.
The name Tselevinia is said to be of Arvanite origin and dates back to the 16th century, when the Arvanites of the area were trying to hide from the Turks who were persecuting them. The Arvanites used the phrase "cellie-veneer" (= watch out for coming) when alerting Turkish ships to approach the area.
The area of ​​Skylai is said to have been inhabited since the Stone Age. The earliest inhabitants are referred to in the literature as the Scyllians, and evidence of ancient human activity is the ruins of a coastal fortress located in the area.

Volcanic sulfur spilling into the sea at Methana, Greece
Enjoy a flight over a strange sight.
The Greek volcanic pool made of sulfur spilling into the sea. We fly over Methana of Trizinia,
The Methana Peninsula is located in the northeast part of the Peloponnese. The peninsula is famous for its baths and the volcano in the village of Kameni Chora. There are about 30 volcanic structures on the peninsula, and the last volcanic activity was underwater in 1700, in the north in front of the Methana.
Along with the volcanoes of Milos, Santorini and Nisyros, Methana belongs to the volcanic arc of the Southern Aegean, which is related to the most important geothermal fields of Greece (Sousaki - Methana - Milos / Kimolos / Polaiigos - Santorini and Santorini) as an active volcano. The Methana Peninsula is located at the western end of this volcanic arc and has significant geothermal potential, but not fully explored.
In Methana there are about 60 km of marked trails.
Methana is rich in prehistoric and ancient findings. In the chapel of Saints Constantine and Helen, 1.5 km from Loutropolis Methana, in 1990, on the foundations of a small church, a prehistoric settlement of the Mycenaean Era of the 14th and 13th centuries was discovered. B.C. In one of the buildings of the settlement were found tributes (figurines and jewels), which are believed to have been a place of worship of prehistoric deity, and possibly of Neptune. The findings of the excavation are on display at the Piraeus Archaeological Museum. On the hill of Paleokastro, near Vathi, are the ruins of the Acropolis of ancient Methana, with its well-preserved volcanic rock walls and well-preserved gate, built in the 4th to 3rd centuries. BC, from the time of the Peloponnesian War. Findings show that the area was first inhabited by the Neolithic period (5,000 BC). The few excavations at the Acropolis of ancient Methana brought to light fragments of Mycenaean vessels. Also visible ruins of ancient houses are preserved in the sea, from the sunken city of Methana, including the pier of the ancient port. Among the underwater ancient ruins, there are Byzantine churches, which means that the settlements were made in the early AD. years. According to archaeologists, the ancient city of Methana had about 700 houses.

Drone footage of Greek island captures all the shades of nature
All the shades of nature centered on a peculiar lively "painting", which is adorned generously by waterbirds. We fly over the lagoon in the second largest city of Achaia, Aigio of Patras. There could be a goddess in this lake because it has such a natural beauty that it stimulates its guests to submerge their imagination.
There are some days when her water is a "mirror", which has the effect of painting the beauty of the sky in the lake. The lagoon of Alyki Aigio is definitely one of the rarest places of natural beauty in Achaia, which we and the state have to protect. Among the reeds, the rare birds, the swamps and the sandy beaches or the beaches with crocodiles and stones, Alyki Aegiou is a unique world, quiet, wild and incredibly beautiful, a world that calms and soothes you as it shows both different from these people.
It is a world that would choose to live a goddess of the lake along with its exotic, fairies and brides.

Majestic lake in Greece resembles tropical paradise
Enjoy a flight over Lake Vouliagmeni in Perachora, Loutraki. This small blue lake is just a few meters from the sea and communicates with it through a narrow channel. Its depth does not exceed 40 meters, its length is 2 kilometers and its width is one kilometer. The beach is sandy and with a narrow channel its waters communicate with those of the Corinthian Gulf. From this opening, which does not exceed 6 meters, the sea descends into the lake, forming whirlpools.
Its waters, much safer than the open sea (renewed with the tide and the tidal phenomenon every six hours or so) are at the beginning shallow, and later they are deepening sharply. They are particularly hot and allow swimming until late autumn. The most beautiful beach is on the west shore and is covered with fine white sand. In the lake you will find some taverns with fish and meat.
