Faraklo Volcanic Rocks
Φαρακλό
A group of unusual spherical rocks formed by cooled volcanic lava on the north coast, with small clear bays between the boulders.
Faraklo lies near Propiskati in the north of the island. Its shore is covered with rounded, layered blocks of lava formed by volcanic activity. Their unusual shapes are considered a geological heritage site. Small bays between the rocks have clear water and are good for swimming. The site is remote, and you need to drive on dirt roads to reach it. There are no facilities, so bring your own drinking water and sun protection.
