FollowNice meal last night at a place called the Little Prince. The waiters took Greek dancing to a new level. Here’s one of them picking up a table and chair with his teeth. Naturally, the furniture is on fire.
This morning we’re off to a place called Porto Timoni, which is about 6 kilometres south of here. We start by going to nearby Arillas.
Despite the lateness of the season, the flowers are still spectacular.
After Arillas we climb to the hill village of Afionas. It’s a very pretty place. Note the torpedo behind the monument. This is a relic of the old NATO submarine base at nearby Paleokastritsa. When it was decommissioned about 15 years ago, the Greeks were given the job of safely disposing of the old ordnance. Of course they did no such thing, preferring to use the torpedoes as war memorials. There’s another in the village of Magoulades a few kilometres away.
Our goal is almost in sight, but first we must tackle a steep walk along the cliffs. After half an hour of scrambling we are rewarded with a lovely view of the double beach.
After getting our photos we climb back up to Afionas where we have lunch in the village taverna. Then it’s time to trek back to San Stefanos, though we did pause for ice cream on the way through Arillas.
