Eat. Beach. Sleep. Repeat.

Saturday, 25 June 2022… A pattern seems to be emerging as once again, Curly and Mandy turned up last night at Apostolis Cafe Bar. Also Tony and Lynn, two more regular visitors to Chalki, however, they were heading home today.
Such a beautiful day … not quite so hot and humid and a lovely welcoming breeze. Decided to walk up to the Windmills above Ftenagia beach… Pontamos beach, the Castle and Trachea all in view from somewhere along the way. A slight mishap on the rocks has left me with a black and bruised, rather sore thumb… I really should be more careful.
Ended my walk at Ftenagia beach and after having a yummy Special Omelette for brunch there, spent the afternoon lounging in the sun and swimming in the gorgeous Aegean Sea. I think I must be a heliophile… someone who enjoys sunny weather, needing summer all year round.
Sunday, 26 June 2022… Up until now, the quietest day of my travels. Left my room around 09.00 hours for a wee stroll. Stopped at Dimitris Bakery for breakfast, just missing the first boat of the day to Kania beach, however, Curly and Mandy made it in time and saved me a sunbed by them on the water’s edge under the trees. Only left there to go and have lunch in the excellent on-site restaurant, returning on the 17.00 hours boat.
For the second night in a row I’m not venturing out. After tomorrow I’ll be upping the pace again… just making sure my batteries are fully recharged.

Wow, I’m liking Chalki. Those Frangipani look amazing.

Hi Gordon, just settling into my last day on a beach for a while. Tomorrow flying from Rhodes to Thessaloniki, Northern Greece.

I do like Chalki it’s very cute with the different coloured houses and boats. You’re looking very tanned now and one happy girl following the sun 🌞

I picked the right island to spend a week on and I’ve had lovely company for much of the time with Curly and Mandy from Cornwall. Tomorrow I head up North… no more beaches for about 10 days but hopefully some good walks.
