Sunday 19June Kiparissi







 Another bright sunny morning. We are first to breakfast again! We then wander around the pretty town (actually it’s Paralia, Kiparissi is higher up the mountain). Mitropoli is the third settlement and where we eat last night. Slightly unusual in that the elderly lady who served us asked (in Greek) what we wanted as soon as we sat down (no menus) and her younger assistant also spoke no English. Why should they of course but it was unusual. We did though add to our Greek vocabulary adding Ndaxi meaning OK!

There’s a Greek wedding going on at Cavo Kortia and so the taverna is closed. So no lunch. But we get to use the comfortable seating and loungers below with fabulous views back towards the 3 villages and the mountain backdrop accompanied by much Greek music. No plate throwing or bauzouki we can determine. 

We are a bit apprehensive about tomorrow’s route but decide to leave at 6 am and we will see how we fare in the earlier and hopeful cooler part of the day.
