Paralia Mikri Vlichada — Attraction in Aegean

The walk down to the beach was beautiful but 100 metres from the beach things got creepy. We first came across a slight mangled goat carcass in a pit with the smell of death being blown our way by the wind. A number of the surrounding caves seemed to have been inhabited. Once we got to the beach there was a series of eerie driftwood “artwork” hanging from a cliff with the occasional child shoe attached - something straight out of twin peaks/true detective. The cave on the beach had a little closed wooden door and on the side of it there was a small boat with a carpet inside.
