The Mycale Strait separates the peninsula from the nearby island of Samos. Named after Mount Mycale, it is only about 1.6 km (0.99 mi) long at its narrowest point, making it one of the smallest straits within the region of the Aegean Sea. Change the first it in the second sentence to the strait to be more specific.

In the Cave of Zeus section, clearly establish that the cave is located within the National Park.

In the Cave of Zeus section, split the sentence The entrance is dense in vegetation, covering parts of it, and there is also a wishing tree that people tie objects to in order to make a wish, in the hope that it will be granted. into two separate sentences, one about dense vegetation, one about the wishing tree.

This may seem a bit peculiar, but it would be better to have this information than not.
