Road Less Traveled…

We went to the nearby village of Magganos for lunch and ended up on a less traveled route to Fiskardo. Larry began quoting the Robert Frost poem and we decided that this was the theme of this trip.

Another winding road in search of a restaurant led us to a gorgeous beach – the restaurant was closed but we were two of six people on the beach. Surprises around many corners!

Back on the more frequently traveled main road, we had lunch at Picnic – a very good restaurant.

Larry enjoyed his lamb burger;

and the Chicken Salad with dried cranberries and pine nuts was great as well.

Back in Fiskardo, we checked out the Roman Cemetery at the edge of town. I met a woman there named Anneliese – a Dutch woman now living in the U.K.  I admired her sense of adventure as she is driving a small camper van around this island on her own – she says that she does this every spring.

Today we’re driving south to Lixouri for a four night stay. But first, we had to try a croissant from the just-opened-for-the-season-today bakery. The chocolate croissants are huge and will keep us going for most of the day!
