Vegan Greek-Style Roast “Lamb” (Kleftiko)

#kleftiko #beach #milos #greece @d.tzankatian #iLocated on the southeast tip of Milos, Kleftiko is one of the island's highlights and most visited spots. It consists of large rocks of volcanic origin that create three small bays that have taken their shape from thousands of years of erosion due to the strong wind and waves. Because of its shape, Kleftiko is also known as Meteora of the Sea, reminiscent of this unique landscape. Additionally, there are numerous caves that can be explored by boat or swimming. The bays used to be a pirate lair, where they would hide and attack hostile boats, while the caves were used as shelters to protect them from bad weather. The area actually got its name from the pirates, as Kleftiko means a bandit's lair. Furthermore, fishermen have mentioned that seals would inhabit the caves but have since moved because of the tourist influx. Kleftiko does not have much of a beach where visitors can place their towels or relax, as the enormous rocks dominate the scenery and sand is scarce. However, it showcases crystal-clear turquoise waters, ideal for swimming, diving and snorkeling in order to observe the majestic marine life of the Aegean Sea. One can also enter the numerous caves either with a small boat or while swimming.
