About Emporios & Mavra Volia
In the far south, below Pyrgi, a deep bay holds the small fishing harbour of Emporios, with a few tavernas by the water. On the hill above are the remains of an ancient town and a temple of Athena, and just over the headland lies Mavra Volia, a cove of smooth black volcanic pebbles and deep blue water, one of the most striking beaches in the Aegean.
