Another lazy day lying on Aganthi Beach was planned for Sunday. Hot and sunny and not a sign of wind indicated a perfect day in Paradise. We were up a little later than usual and enjoyed a breakfast on our deck before heading away to laze the day away.
We spent all day there and enjoyed every minute,the water is so warm and buoyant, it is easy to just float around keeping your head above water and enjoying all the beach life unfolding around you . The temperatures got to 35 degrees, hot but not as bad as Symi on 45 degrees the day we were there.
We completed our day with another fine meal at our friend Kristos's restaurant and a coffee at the bar on the way home so we could use the Internet to catch up on news.
Our next adventure was to Lindos,a heritage town about twenty miles down the coast and highly recommended by travel books because of the Roman acropolis ruins and heritage town winding up and around the hillside fortress.
We hired a car for the day and arrived earlier to beat the sun as it was a steep climb up to the fortress and very exposed once you came out onto the top. Well worth it though as the ruins were fascinating and the view beautiful. We climbed up through the little cobbled streets,through the donkey poo and past little craft shops vying for the tourist dollar until we came to the entrance gate , paid our money and walked through the walls of the old castle also on the site.
We could have paid five dollars and arrived on a donkey!!!!
After exploring the site we climbed back down to the town and rewarded ourselves with lovely fresh orange juice served under the shady grape vines and shaded from the heat of the day. Crowds were building so we escaped back to the car and drove down the coast for lunch . Our real destination was a place called Prasonissia where the Aegean Ocean and the Mediterranean lapped either side of the sandy isthmus separating an island from the mainland. We paddled in both waters and watched the kite surfers etc enjoying the breeze before travelling to Sania, the home of honey and back to our beach for a swim . A great day out.
