the beach was beautiful but i didn't take any pictures. Chimera is the name given to the eternal Promethean flame. there are gas leaks in the mountain and the gas escapes through various openings and is constantly on fire. you can pour water on a small opening to extinguish it, then hold a ciagarette next to it and it goes on fire again. but the big fire, that is eternal.
