Sunday, October 8th - Secret Island of Thirasia!

 

End of the day send off. 

View of the pool in the evening.

Beautiful sunset.

Our group of eight...The Ebers, Nebbias, Hayes & Murmans. 

Every room had their own hot tub. Mike enjoyed that after our long hike!

We hiked up and down in Thirasia.

Our local guides, Yannis & Nicole. They have a winery, guide services for hiking and mountain biking. They live on the island. Not many people live there...a few hundred!

Who wants grilled octopus?

Herb boat!

Lunch after hiking. Hilarious conversations with Brian & George about divorce & dating!!

A shot of RAKA after many dinners. Tastes like Czech plum brandy to me, slivovitz. 

Traditional lunch made by our guides. I think I ate Greek salad every day. They use cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, peppers, olives, a slab of feta cheese and vinegar & oil. NO LETTUCE! I liked it!

Hiked to this church.

There are 27 churches on the island.

A beautiful church. 

Prickly pear cactus.

Our guide shows us the part of the cactus they eat.

Elba & Stefano explain our hiking options for the day.

Meeting at the bar before dinner.

Dinner at Ammoudi on this port at the last night. Stunning!
