Salt Mine of Maras
After you have finished exploring Moray, the next stop on the itinerary is the salt mines of Maras, located approximately 2 miles away. Maras is renowned for being a historical salt-producing center that dates back to colonial times. Here, you will discover over 3000 salt pools meticulously carved into the mountainside. These pools are replenished daily by a small stream of water. The area is truly breathtaking and offers a spectacularly beautiful landscape.
Once you have completed the visit to the salt mines, you will return to the city in time for you to enjoy some lunch on your own.
