Day 39 - Kioni, Ithaca Isl


Looking on the map the trip from Kalamos on Kalamos Island to Kioni on Ithaca Island looks like a simple 10 minute sail.  However, we decided to go back to Cliff Bay and stop off for lunch.  Coming back from Cliff Bay were strong winds force 4 18-20 knots got the boat up to 7.46 knots.  Challenging.  Will never complain about 0.5 knot winds again.  Moored at the end of the Ferry wharf three deep side on which meant we had to head off early in order to miss the 11 am ferry due in the morning. Group punch drinks. 

Exceptionally good pork on the spit at Costa's taverna (I am pretty sure).  It is the one right on the waterfront with a huge spit turning, cooking and sending out waves of succulent fragrance at the end of the building. 


Every port we went to had a taverna (or two) right on the waterfront within 20 metres of where we moored the boats. It didn't matter which one you went to because the food was fantastic and cheap everywhere and the restaurant owners and staff were smiling and friendly.
