Probably be roasting by the time I get there lol . I'll be there next month .You could try austria or Germany, it’s hissing down there
I've gotta spend 3 months in the UK as it is Charlie.. and apart from a few funsters I'll be visiting I've no idea where I'm going to stay for those 3 months , so I'm not coming back earlier.
I don't in any way think it's easy to keep 4 dogs under control, I couldn't manage one that's why I haven't got any.I've gotta spend 3 months in the UK as it is Charlie.. and apart from a few funsters I'll be visiting I've no idea where I'm going to stay for those 3 months , so I'm not coming back earlier.
If I hadn't booked and paid for my ferry from Greece to Italy already I'd possibly have left Greece a bit earlier.
But to be honest overall its still better being here, I'm just sounding off because I'm feckin hot and uncomfortable. In hindsight I should have just stayed at elea for another week ...I just felt after 2 weeks it was time to move. But it wasn't too busy , we had the beach the sea and the river which was a blessing.
I'm just not used to travelling at this time of year when it's so hot and so busy. And keeping 4 dogs under control when there's loads of folk about isn't as easy as you'd think.
Just cause you English folk never complain about anything and just suffer in silence...I'm Scottish we like to vent
You should try it .
Well it's costing me 200 quid to visit this island and it's only really the 2nd day so too early to write it off yet. I was in 2 minds whether to do it or not but a few folk had said it was worth the trip.. so I'm giving it a go. I'm hoping I'll find a couple of spots that aren't so popular with tourists. I thought this beach behind airport would be quiet due to the noise etc but its very very busy. . Even now at 6.30pm the carpark is chocked full
There are mad folk who love aeroplanes
.
Yes in hindsight I should have stayed there another week as the dogs loved it. Fresh water river was very handy. Now I've to carry a big bottle of water and a dog bowl to the beach aswell as our other stuff lol.
ME, ME, ME, thank God someone knows to call them aeroplanes.There are mad folk who love aeroplanes
Nice new signature lol
I do have to say that so far the only thing the island has that the mainland doesn't is hundreds of tourists . You wouldn't know you were on an island to be honest, the views are the same , the towns are much the same. . Few more boats going around and scooters ,quads and hire cars but otherwise.
You need to make your way to the peninsula of lixouri much quieter , you missed some fab quiet coves just about 5 miles south of Poros , the bit between the airport and Argostoli has some fabulous beaches but will be busy unless early morning or evenings, it’s Greece and it is summer so obviously it will be busy, however there are so many places on the island where you hardly see a soul, just explore , you have only seen a tiny bit of the island
Iceland is nice this time of year, you do however need deep pockets full of 50 pounds notes as cheap it is not
I looked for those coves but never saw any ....none that you could park at anyway... and the park4night spots I did go to weren't great. Lots of seaweed and rubbish ...or jammed with tourists.You need to make your way to the peninsula of lixouri much quieter , you missed some fab quiet coves just about 5 miles south of Poros , the bit between the airport and Argostoli has some fabulous beaches but will be busy unless early morning or evenings, it’s Greece and it is summer so obviously it will be busy, however there are so many places on the island where you hardly see a soul, just explore , you have only seen a tiny bit of the island
That’s the problem with hidden coves lol, hard to find
, I can assure you they are there, a few miles out of Poros you followed the sea on a low road right next to it, fairly straight for a while with weird little round rocks protruding from the sea, few miles past that there is a little hardcore parking lot , size of a football pitch, just a bit down from the road, in the far right hand corner in the back is a little white fence, step over it and a path is cut out in the cliffs , staircase brings you down to the most amazing cove, tiny sandy area, pebbles going into the sea, Cristal clear water , plenty of these about, some require some hiking. Just when you turn onto the road leading to the peninsula of lixouri on the narrow bit, the coast to your right has some fab hidden coves too
No fish there though... she was fishing at elea in the river but today it seemed to be the light hitting the sand she was hypnotised by.She’s fishing…
Yes they really enjoyed the river... as did I. Normally rivers are full of plants or grass weeds etc and I don't like it , I like to be able to see the bottom lol. And make sure there's no critters lurking to bite my toes. But not many places with the rivers so we just gotta make do . The other 3 don't seem to be so bad with the sand but blu's coat is thicker. Surprisingly she dries quicker than the other 3 but brings half the beach in with her everytime. Another reason I couldn't have a new posh van , the mess would drive me insane.
on a more Positive note.
