A wonderful day exploring the lesser visited sites on the south side of the island. Our guide asked us what we wanted to see and then delivered the perfect day. With a visit to a monastery that had a view from the top of the island he pointed to all the sites we could see from our Birds Eye view including almost 20 islands in the distance. We walked on the black sand beach, visited the lookout for the red sand beach, and had lunch at an out of the way place that locals frequent. The food was amazing. The. He took us to a local brewery for a perfect ending.
