Kisamos et la plage de Balos

Nous avons encore envie de découvrir des endroits magiques et décidons d'aller à la plage de Balos, qui est au Nord-Ouest de l'île.

The Acropolis is really the center of the city, it's the huge limestone rock where the Parthenon was built, where Plato and Socrates battled intellectually, and where the goddess Athena battled Poseidon (she won by the way).
