Walking in Vathi

16 August 2015 | Vathi, Ithaka
Nichola / dry, sunny
The day after Terrible Tuesday started calm and gentle. We'd been ready to leave thinking every night was going to be like last night but we decided to stay and give it a chance. And we're glad we did - Vathi is now one of our favourite places.Once the exodus had ended there weren't many boats left. We decided to have a walk ashore and a late breakfast treat of coffee and croissants. The town is lovely with good provisioning (an AB supermarket and a Carrefour, butchers, banks, several bakeries and fruit and veg shops), crafty, nicknack and jewellery shops and plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants. All the people we met were super friendly. read more
