Saturday 25 May (Day 32)
The hire car had to be returned by 10am at the port this
morning so we bade our farewells to Timos and set off. Our ferry, ‘The Skopelitis Express’ wasn’t
due to leave until 2pm so we had a few hours to relax in Chora. Amorgos is only 16 nautical miles from Naxos
and although it’s an express the journey takes over six hours because it calls in
at quite a few of the Small Cyclades Islands.
We arrived in Amorgos just as the sun was setting. Our accommodation is called ‘Georgia Studios’
(which is strange because it was on my mind).
The photo on the website showed a view of the building from the port
with a big red circle round it and a big red arrow pointing to it but we couldn’t
see it anywhere. Fortunately a young
lady met us and we followed her to our room.
Sunday 26 May (Day 33)
After breakfast this morning there as a knock at the door,
the owners had brought us some home made soft cheese and a couple of cucumbers
grown in their garden. We spent some time
today exploring the area. The town we
are staying is called Katapola which means below the town as it sits below the
main town (again called Chora). There
was a very happy looking fisherman at the port who had caught a small 4 foot
shark and was proceeding to dissect and sell it
We cooked a meal in our room in the evening and ate it on
our balcony while watching the sun go down.
Calling in at Koufounissi (we will be staying here next week)
