Kleftiko

The southwestern coastline features three small bays enclosed by white volcanic rocks, creating natural chambers with multiple sea caves and passages.

Pirates in the 1800s utilized these secluded bays and caves as hiding spots to stage attacks on passing merchant vessels in the Aegean Sea.

The name derives from the Greek word 'Kleftis' meaning thief, reflecting the maritime history of this geological formation along the Mediterranean coast.

Access requires booking a boat tour from Adamas port, as the location remains unreachable by road and offers no visitor facilities or amenities.

The erosive forces of wind and water carved these limestone formations over millennia, resulting in a network of underwater passages and caves.
