Today we hired a car and headed out around the island to check out the incredible caves on the island.
The island is made of Limestone, which makes for elaborate rock formations and very clear surrounding water as there is no sediment.

The views are of course spectacular!

A word of advice - don't take flip flops with you as climbing shoes for limestone!

We also came across this amazing chasm at Limura, with pretty shear cliffs and deep water.
Perfect for swimming, climbing, and jumping from.....
