Monday, 21st May:
Well another day, another breakfast – actually I just had Greek yogurt with some fresh fruit – nice way to start the day. I still had managed to stay clear from hiring any forms of transport, by little legs were holding up well, and I actually felt initially “refreshed” after the walk (albeit a bit tied late in the days).
Today, I just wanted to sunbathe, so after breakfast and freshening up, I located myself next to the pool of the hotel, was only a couple of other people there, wasn’t a huge pool or pool-side area, but enough to relax and enjoy the moment.
It was pretty sunny and dry, although a bit breezy, we still had the remnants of the cold front which brought the rain over the weekend, and this ensured the temperature was slightly lower than I would have expected. But when the wind held back for a time, it was quite warm, probably in the mid 20’s (ºc).
After about 2 hours of relaxation I was again getting quite peckish, so freshened up again and ventured into the Town. There were a few places where you could get a quick snack to take-away, like a kebab-type place, but far better quality than in the UK. So had a Pork Savlaki in Pitta, and again did some further drifting around the lanes. I noticed a nice place (called “Corner”) serving what appeared to be a nice selection of Crepes and Waffles, so stopped off for “dessert”. I sat outside the place and watched the world go by for an hour or so.
I went back to the hotel, watched some TV, listened to my music and relaxed for a couple of hours; I then made my way back into town to find a nice place for Dinner. I located another place called “Elia”, and had the Fried Tomato Balls, followed by Greek Salad and Gyros (mixed meat), accompanied by a nice Red wine – yummy! Was okay, nothing special, the service was a bit hit and miss, but the meal did the job.
Anyway, more walking around the town, and during the evening sunset, I took some more snaps at different vantage points in the town.Only registered users can write comments. Please login or register. Powered by AkoComment 1.0! |
