It\u2019s a rain day, so a mooch around the coast and see if we can get Sue\u2019s phone fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A slow start to the day but we were out of the villa by 11-ish. It had rained heavily over night and into the morning\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next town around the coast is Acharavi, which is less touristy than other towns around here, but a long single Road Town with many shops running along the road. There\u2019s also some bigger supermarkets and shops that locals might need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the shops was Germanos, an independent phone store at the west end of the town. The tech in the store said he\u2019d have a look at Sue\u2019s phone, which is till dead, and let us know tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then headed to Sidari, west along the coast again. Sidari is definitely NOT our cup of tea. A few semi-sandy beaches with a huge number of bars, restaurants and beach shops running on streets behind the beach front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some pretty-ish rock formations at the west end of the beach, but spoilt by the hundreds of people and the rubbish littered everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a coffee to stay out of the rain, which threatened but didn\u2019t hit. Then wandered back through the horrendous Sidari streets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an hour at home we headed back into Kassiopi for supper. We were early (6:30) and lots of places didn\u2019t reopen until 7. So we went with Kami Restaurant where we had a coffee yesterday morning. The food was excellent again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow is going to be wet again – all the boat trips out of Kassiopi have been cancelled for a second day. We\u2019ll see if Sue\u2019s phone is repairable as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
