Anafi… I Would Stay And Love You But I Have To Go
By Helen Grubner. Filed in Uncategorized |
Wednesday, 8 June 2022… took my time getting out of bed this morning. Made my coffee and sat out on the terrace to enjoy breakfast… Milópita (apple pie) purchased yesterday from the local bakery and delicious! The tiniest wee black and white mama kitty (I’m told she has 5 kittens) was glad to receive her share.
Walked the path down to the Port in Agios Nikolaos bay then over to Kleisidi, the closest beach to Chora. Sandy, with trees for shade and a small settlement… a truly beautiful spot for swimming in the warm Aegean Sea, strolling on the beach and sunbathing.
Eventually moved on to Margarita’s Cafe/Restaurant for lunch… Saláta Anafi – flavoursome and tasty and a Mythos beer. Overlooking the beach and out to the three islands opposite… Makra, Ftena and Pachia. In the future, given the opportunity to return to Anafi, I think I would be very happy to book a room somewhere here at Kleisidi beach for an extended stay.
I was thinking there could be a bus from Kleisidi to Chora at 17.15 hours, however, no one could confirm so I walked back to the Port. In the searing heat of the day, only crazies like me are out and about but I thought I might be able to hitch a ride. It wasn’t too long before a taxi arrived… I was more than happy to give him a return fare of E5 to Chora.
