MONK SEALS8
ENDANGERED
With only 400 Mediterranean
monk seals left in the world,
and 60 in Sporádes Marine
Park (p113), pray to Greece’s
mythical gods that you see
one of these rare creatures.

9 TRADITIONAL MUSIC

Every island sways to its
own siren song, from gentle
Zákynthian kantades to wild
Cretan lyre music. Join the
locals in a taverna for a glass
of ouzo and a rousing chorus.
