Legend says that the first grave on the Cape of St. Tekla belonged to a girl called Tekla, who died on a sailboat. Her grieving father refused to throw his only daughter into the sea, according to an old sailor tradition. Sailing in the vicinity of Podgora, he found a spot where he buried his daughter - Punta of St. Tekla. It reminded him of a ship, and its cypresses resembled a mast.
