“Other countries may offer you discoveries in manners or lore or landscape; Greece offers you something harder – the discovery of yourself” – Lawrence Durrell – ‘Prospero’s Cell’
After three days we returned the car and went back to the routine of the first week with long days around the swimming pool, sunset drinks on the hotel terrace and seeking out different tavernas for evening meals. Some days when we tired of the pool we visited the scruffy beach which was across a busy main road and through a gloomy underpass, which we rarely used, preferring instead to take our chances against the traffic.

Hi Lily, I am really pleased to hear that the boat is still going, your dad gave us a lot of fun on that day in 1984. I can remember it as though it were only yesterday. Andrew

All the best,
