Day 44 - Vathi

In Greece (as in Italy) there is one church for every 5 people.  Okay that might be a bit of an exaggeration one for every 10 people.  This was a cute one coming into Vathi.  Easily accessible by sea or by a tiny footpath a fair distance from town. You can see the ruins of an old castle in the background.  Probably venetian.

We were moored at the north quay a little bit out of town right next to a fantastic tavern that was right on the waterfront (of course!) where it was shaded and a little cooler than the main town.

We walked into town despite the scorching heat because I knew there were some old buildings around there somewhere. Had the obligatory icecream/gelato. Then we went for a swim in a little bay just around from the mooring.

This is a venetian bell tower:
