During my holidays I took the opportunity to visit for the second time the mythical, magical and historical territory of Greece. The cradle of knowledge, the path of fortune-tellers and sages who structured ideas and questions about the origin and nature of being, leaving behind divine and esoteric beliefs to replace them with a rational logic that offered a more reasonable and convincing explanation than the belief in dictates of beings with supernatural powers.
To visit Greece is to travel in time and recreate myths, legends, histories and customs whose culture endures in an independent nation full of noble, helpful, friendly people who serve the tourists and travelers who frequent it. Its landscape and urban design, economy, industry and customs revolve around its immense cultural wealth. As a post would be insufficient to share my tourist experience, I describe the extraordinary blue caves of the island of Paxos. I hope that your pupils will expand with the generous natural beauty of this coastal marine ecosystem...
According to Greek mythology the splendour of the sculptor who sculpted these monumental caves, relied on a magical trident, Poseidon*, god of the bifurcated seas the territory of the current island of Corfu to locate in more crystalline and calm waters the palace of his beloved Amphitrite
From a geophysical perspective, these islets correspond to an ascending chain of cliffs that emerged from the last great continental expansion that fragmented the supercontinent known as Pangea at the beginning of the Mesozoic Era.
The photochemical phenomenon of solar refraction from natural bodies of water, gives the characteristic turquoise blue color, dazzles the eyes and imagines the experiences of the mythological divinities in this marine sanctuary.
How beautiful is nature and all its biotic and abiotic components. In hours when the photons of sunlight collide with their dorsal axes, they reflect the marine blue towards the interior of the entrance of the caves; where by the way, we can only access in boats or swimming if we have the experience.
You simply have to live this experience to describe it! I have no words to do it and bring my emotion.
The steep walls decorated with beautiful lichen stains on these limestone cliffs give them their whitish hue. Apologizing for the slightly technical language, I explain: the gullies are the cracks found in the walls of the beautiful cliff. They have been formed by hydroclimatic and environmental factors such as wind, rain, sun, shock waves, cold, heat, among others ... for millions of years.

On my way back to the beach, it was mandatory to enjoy the crystalline and divine waters of Navagio Beach, an island that integrates this majestic coastal marine ionic biome; it was the ideal moment to dare to swim because I was at the shallowest end of the continental platform... 🙈
Well, at the beginning of the descriptive photo invitation I told them that a post would be insufficient to offer them a summary of my tourist experience in the land of the mythological gods; meanwhile, I am committed to present a next part, no longer in the blue caves of Poseidon, but in the area of influence where Ulysses (Odysseus), the legendary protagonist of the Greek epic, the Iliad of Homer, made his voyage.
✅ I hope you enjoyed the colorful photography in this beautiful islet ecosystem belonging to the island of Corfu. Thank you for your time, reading, qualification and generous support.

So beautifull...
Thank you for your nice comment.

The colours of the water are just amazing! It's been many years since I visited the Greek islands and I'd forgotten how blue the waters can be.

Our natural world is so incredible, is it not? I ADORE Greece and would choose that as a second home any day of the week. Beautiful images that have me checking out what a flight Bangkok to Athens costs these days.... LOL...

Your comment full of a mixture of harmony and feelings reminds me of when I longed to travel to Greece and enjoy these beautiful coastal marine ecosystems. These are spectacular ecosystems full of legends, myths, history and natural beauty... I have had the good fortune to travel twice to the cradle of philosophical knowledge and I wish to continue to do so in the coming years. The environment makes me connect fascinatingly with Mother Nature.
