Grand Tour

We took the grand tour of the whole island, using only our wits, a small useless map and fluent Greek roadsign interpretation. We paid our respects at the WW1 wargraves at Portianou and Moudros before heading North. Missing the unsigned turnoff to the archeological site at Kavinia, we eventually found it shut (on Mondays) so broke in anyway. Unfortunately the steps down to the cave of Philoctetes were also closed due to being unsafe. So we went down them anyway. We met  a tortoise on the way to Kotsinas where we had lunch. We nearly got to the famous inland sand dunes at Gomati but decided the off-road capabilities of our 1 litre Corsa were not up to the job. Back at base we managed to get wet in the sea as compensation.
