After walking around the village we set off back to Aegiali and came across a group of walkers who enthusiastically showed us a short cut but it was down a tricky path and they had stout leather walking shoes with knotted laces and we had inadequate sandals with synthetic soles so we ignored the advice and stuck to the road instead.
When was this Andrew?

This was 2016, the last time that I went to the Greek Islands. Sadly the pace of change is rapid and they are quickly losing their charm.

I can well imagine that, Andrew…I would probably be very saddened by how much they have changed since the ’80s

Ferries are mostly high speed, the old buses have all gone and dusty old shops are now modern mini-markets. The high price of progress!

Brought back some amazing memories. I was there in 2004 to attend a friend’s wedding.

“a walking fundamentalist zealot” I really laughed at this Andrew. I have a friend like that. Every step is recorded. –Curt

These photos bring me right back to my only trip to Greece. The combination of narrow streets and whitewashed walls and blue accents complimenting the blue sky…well, it’s a look unmatched anywhere else in my life. Oh, and the cats. I remember cats and small dogs all over the streets.
