As you can see, our villa in Kardamyli was superb. This is a little, out of the way, spot. There is a larger tourist town a little further up the coast. This place is better known for its restaurants.

Today our trip was to the Caves of Diros (which sounds like an episode of Dr Who....)
This involved a boat trip through the limestone cave system, but I must admit I had anticipated bigger boats. These were little punts
In all honesty we were a little underwhelmed. But it was different to our other experiences during the holiday, so all good.
We drove on to another small coastal town, Gytheio, for lunch and this was a big success. A nice place, nice lunch and then an interesting walk, featuring a shipwreck.
As you can see, the restaurant wasn't too busy....
Delicious fresh seafood
Gytheio also has a tiny ancient theatre - not exactly Epidauros standards. But of course even small Greek towns wanted their own theatre.
And then the shipwreck. Not an ancient wreck. A 20th century one. Quite possibly a ship that had been used for smuggling had simply been scuttled. But now it is a tourist feature. Strangely it is enhanced by a combination of rust and graffiti.
And back to base again for the evening. Love a sunset
We had a nice comfy sitting room to watch films on netflix
And found a cool looking bar for a cocktail as the sun went down.
