The Milky Way From A Beach In Greece

The Milky Way in the dark night sky with the illuminating stars, part of the galaxy that contains our Solar System as seen from a sandy beach in Halkidiki, Greece. The long exposure photography of the Milkyway was captured from Secret Paradise sandy beach over the rocks of the hills and the Mediterranean Aegean Sea, a Nudist friendly beach near Toroni, Tristinika and Aretes breach. Due to the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic, Greece was not overcrowded with tourists and safety - lockdown measures applied during the summertime, a fact that helped the sky be darker and the universe was easily visible from the Greek shore.
