Valley of the Dolls
... seawater you have ever seen. John wasn’t hungry so he decided to head off alone to the hotel whilst the rest of us enjoyed a gelato break. We relaxed on the terrace of the café overlooking the Mediterranean, eating gelato and enjoying the cool sea breeze. A nice way to breakup a day of riding.

The beach wasn't that spectacular, and it was really hot so we headed to the valley. For some reason we thought it was a good idea to walk around in the heat :s The Valley of the Temples was pretty impressive, but there were only really two that were still intact but there were plenty of ruins.
