Mysterious islet

Everybody knows about Achillion and Princess Elizabeth, right? Does anyone have ever visited the mysterious green islet not far from the port of Corfu? There are no palaces and no princesses dared to go there. Only a few people know the amazing history of this islet and even less are aware of what happened in its haunted forest… A late afternoon walk in a mysterious forested islet surrounded by the ruins of the past. This place is an ideal destination for short relaxing walks in rather flat forest paths, inside beautiful scenery of pine, olive and cypress trees that surround its mysterious abandoned buildings. The colours of the sunset are beyond any imagination. Participants will have the opportunity to walk in the forest paths during the sunset and listen to stories (in Greek of English) from the past, when each observatory had a function and every corner of the island served as shelter to strange and neglected people.
