Vlicho Bay

Last night we went to a ‘Gyros’ restaurant. This is basically the Greek equivalent of a British fish & chip shop. The big difference is that they sell meat, as fish is expensive here. We’d call a Gyros restaurant a kebab shop. You can get pretty much anything you want, but we had a platter for 2 with a bit of everything.

It’s a friendly place, with locals popping in for takeaways. They’ll deliver to your boat if you want. Gyros is a cheap meal – basic stuff is just 2 euros. Our bill including drinks was about £13.

It was still windy this morning, so we caught a bus to a village called Vlicho where we’ve been in the past. Vlicho is a small village on the edge of a huge lagoon. It’s almost landlocked, so it’s usually busy with boats during a breezy spell.

Back in Nidri a cruise ship is anchored a mile offshore. Passengers are shuttled ashore in the lifeboats. Nidri was a bit livelier this afternoon, but the ship won’t stay long – they’re off to Corfu this evening.

Lovely little catamaran flying the Welsh dragon in the bay.
