Modern Description: The harbour through which kaolin was shipped was at Emboreiós, where there are now mine installations from the early part of the last century. This is a melancholy and deserted coast of strange forms. The land is patched with occasional pockets of barley fields, figs and olive trees, and broken by occasional shocking veins of colour.
