After Thursday’s heroics (!) I decided that a quiet restful day was called for on Friday. I spent some time wandering around the village, and had a cappuccino at what has become a favourite snack bar, Castellos, which overlooks the sandy beach. While I was doing this I noticed that the sea, which had been so rough on Wednesday, was completely calm – there was no wind. Obviously some time on the beach was called-for, and I got down there by just after 11 o’clock. Given that I’m not normally a beach person you’ll be surprised that I didn’t leave it until about 3:30, and had a couple of dips in the sea as well. Both the time on the beach and in the sea were much better and enjoyable experiences than had been the case on Wednesday.
After going back to the hotel I finally had that long-awaited beer. Then after cleaning myself up, doing the ‘Walking the Samaria Gorge’ post and having a frankly unsatisfying meal, I hit Paleochora’s best wine bar. Probably Paleochora’s only wine bar, but I had several glasses of very enjoyable Greek red wine at very reasonable prices, so I went back to the hotel happy and rested.
