Gria Spilia (Syros)

37° 29.9′ N · 24° 53.7′ E · approximate

'Old Woman's Cave', a sea cave and rocky shore on the north-west tip near Grammata, where you can lie to a temporary anchor offshore and snorkel along the cliffs.

Practical

Coordinate is approx: it is the OSM locality label for Gria Spilia, so confirm the cave by eye. aegeanislands.gr says offshore mooring is possible. Come only in calm weather; the north-west coast takes swell and meltemi gusts. Use the dinghy and a mask to explore the cave mouth, and watch for tripper boats.
