Sigri

Here is where I want to live and write (Albert Camus)

"Later, when we moored at Sigri, I was impressed by the picturesque landscape of austerity, ordinary people, the Petrified Forest and the legend about the other on the sea bottom. Here I want to come to live and work. It is the place of the gods! " (ALBERT CAMUS Writer)

Sigri is worth visiting and will definitely reward your choice.
The small fishing village was waiting for years to be discovered.
Sigri owes largely universal recognition to the petrified forest located in the area. It is a unique monument of nature, which became part of the Global Network of UNESCO Geoparks.
On the tour the visitor meets the biggest fallen trunk with a length of more than 20 m and a number of large upright logs of up to 4 m, in the place that, millions of years ago, the Sekoϊas forest was covered by the lava of the volcano that exploded.
In addition to the Park, you will see many findings in the Museum of Natural History, inside the village. At the edge of the village, you can see the fortress, while there is a large imposing lighthouse on the Isle of Nisiopi right accross the village. You can see the chapel of Ag. George Basilica, as well as many fossil tree trunks, ranging from land and extends to the sea. Traditional cafes and taverns will guide you to taste authentic flavors of the island and the Aegean Sea.
