Plytra

We were all excited about the idea of the underwater city at Plytra – apparently you could snorkel over these ancient ruins – much better than climbing over them in the heat! The city was submerged during an earthquake around 375 AD or possibly the Santorini explosion that did it for Knossos.

However we spent the morning swimming, provisioning, eating, and generally chilling and by the time we were ready to snorkel, the wind had come up and the sea was too ferocious – as you can see.

...shame...

We did get a good photo of the beach and the iconic Ghost House...

So we decided to eat, watch a DVD and leave for the Caves of Diros so we would be there as soon as it opened in the morning.
