Description
* Cape Ayia Fig Sapboard Ride
After sailing away from the crowded beach and moving away from the shore, you immerse yourself in the wild world of Cape Ayia. Wild beaches, sheer cliffs (Wall rock) and mountain peaks (first Sail, second Sail), growing directly from the water surface, sailing on a sap board through such places you want to stay here forever. You need to take pictures absolutely everywhere: in the northwest there is a magnificent view of Cape Fiolent and Balaklava Bay, in the southeast the Rhinoceros rock awaits us. The scale of nature is fascinating, if we row and at the same time look at the mountain peaks and observe how they move in space relative to each other, we realize the three-dimensional picture of what is happening around us.
The most unusual grotto, Dragon's Breath, is waiting for us ahead. To swim into the grotto, you need to dive and find yourself inside the grotto. When a long wave raises the sea surface level in the grotto, the grotto spits out water like a whale. The crystal clear water has a fresh taste and a lower temperature than the sea temperature, as there is a very powerful underground source of fresh water in this place. It's a feeling worth experiencing at least once in your life. There is nothing terrible or overly dangerous in this, as the sunlight reflected from the bright seabed illuminates the cave from the inside with sparkling turquoise highlights, my companions dive into the grotto even with children.
Immediately after the Dragon's Breath grotto, we get to Catherine's grotto, where you can board a boat and there is a place to turn around. The great depth in the grotto and the turquoise water give this place a special atmosphere. Having emerged from the grotto, just behind the Rhinoceros rock, we find ourselves under a steep, almost perfectly flat rock, in this place traces of cannonballs are visible, which Ushakov used to shoot the guns of his ships. After walking a little more, an island opens up in front of us, surrounded on one side by steep cliffs, on the other side by the sea. Several square kilometers of juniper forest and the largest pebble beach of these places, you can only get here from the sea.
