It’s quiet here…there really aren’t so many tourists around town. We’re surprised but imagine that everyone else must be in Santorini!
Psaltiras Wine & Olive Oil Shop
We wanted to try some Greek wines and went to this shop for dinner last evening. We could buy half glasses of wine as a way to taste a few. The cheeses – creamy smoked goat cheese, cheese with thyme, truffles, and a buttery-tasting cheese with plum chutney were all fun to try!
Church – Exochori Village
Today we drove 30 minutes up a narrow, winding mountain road to check out the village of Exochori. There is a church, a couple of houses, and many olive trees. While we were there a fierce wind storm nearly blew us off of the mountain. We found a sheltered area, waited for a break in the wind, and made our way back down the mountain!
This is the village from across the gorge.
And flowers in the cemetery.
Roses in Exochori Cemetery
We walked quite a lot today! The beach here is rocky but there is a road beside it so we can avoid the pebbles. On the way back to our apartment, we walked through Old Kardamyli. Lots of history here!
View from the Old Town
Time to move on! Tomorrow we’ll drive about two hours to our next stop – Koroni. It’s a small fishing village – we’re anxious to check it out.
