I
told John about Patitiri as Liz & I used to enjoy sailing there in the
early '80's. I hoped it was still as pretty as it used to be and was
shocked whenI opened this photo before reading the text - it must be
better in the other direction - but it looks more like the harbour close
by to the NE to me John... SB |

28th
April 2001 from John Whalley: Patitiri
is beautiful and they are still building the new quay for
us. Lots of lorries and bulldozers. Rather like the airport
which is on the map, started in 1980's unfinished
due to hard rock and local politics, but that's
Greece. Two men were fishing the first caught this
octopus the second, in the background, turned out to
be using an old speaker magnet to get a builders tool
from the depths of the harbour! Anyway its good to
be here after some 350 mile since launch in Preveza Ionian
four weeks ago. This area is also a marine park and
home to the rare Monk seal. This islands original
hilltop capital virtually raised to the ground by an earth quake in
last 20 years but the stone villas have been bought by rich
northern Europeans looking for a peaceful retreat.
Its 20C and 19.00hrs time for a walk round the Taverna's,
beats work! We
will spend a few weeks exploring these islands then head north again to
the wilds of Kalkidiki. |
