Town has been getting just a bit too hectic for me (and I’ve had enough of the small boys pretending to play football outside my room just to have the excuse for shouting as loud as they can at each other and making each other cry).

My friend Susanne who used to have a travel agency here put me in touch with Kostas who has apartments at Agios Fokas (across from the beach I went to yesterday).

I went to see the place and thought it was delightful.  It costs a little more than my room in town but I get to have a shady terrace, a kitchen and that nice beach in spitting distance.  I’m moving in tomorrow.

I went to spend a few hours on the beach and have a swim at Kolymbithra.  It was fantastic – I stopped a few times on the ride home to take pics of some of the gorgeous hill villages and view of the main town and across to Mykonos and Delos.

On my way back I was tempted to make a detour to the village named Agapi – it means Love.  If you ever see that little blonde lad from the film Oliver would you tell him if he asks “Where is Love?” that I now know.
