Fourni The last days!

Well, that’s just about it! Our fantastic Greek Adventure is nearly over for 2011!!

We have spent our last few days relaxing and mentally preparing for our return!!

We hired a scooter for a day and headed along the spine of the island 16k to the working fishing village of Chrysomillia. A beautiful bay with several small fishing cottages right on the water, relatively poor but with a beautiful outlook. Only a few tourists here and only for the day like ourselves.  It's a Greek fishing village that hasn’t changed over the decades... amazing.  We had a wonderful meal on the waterfront, salad, calamari and fries. Nothing could be better. We checked out the other three or four other beautiful beaches along the island and that’s about all there is to Fourni. It’s only about 30k long and about 2k wide.

As we said earlier Fourni town has everything you need in the one place, a great beach, tavernas on the waterfront, a picturesque town square, other beaches including Kampi nearby and the most wonderful, friendly locals. A totally relaxing and fantastic place to spend your days and get into the Greek way of life!

We have had some great food here including one of their specialties, shrimps and spaghetti (they also do lobster and spaghetti) and some of the best souvlaki and charcoal cooked chicken we’ve eaten. We don’t want to go!!!!

So, five trips and some 32 islands later the Greek Odyssey is over for the short term. We are on our way to Athens for a couple of days where we will meet Don and Val Megget and have our first look at their campervan “Lefty”.


We hope you have enjoyed our blog and it has given you some insight into this amazing country and it’s generous, gentle people.


We love it and we will definately be back!
