We start the walk at the viewpoint above Polis Bay and we talk about Polis Cave and the important artifacts that the archeologists found during the excavations there. Then we will visit the scale model of Odysseus Palace at the main square of Stavros village, designed by the Italian architect Bruno Mazzali and his ancient Greek nautical exhibition.
