Spartakhori Meganisi

After a very late start to the day we enjoy some coffee and lots of naughtiness at the Sivota bakery before heading off for the day.  It's a little cloudy and overcast this morning so not sure what the weather will bring us. The forecast is for south easterly s at Beaufort 3s but as we head out its dead calm for most of our trip.

We are headed around the island of Meganisi on the east side looking for a little beach to stop at for a swim.  Unfortunately the water temp does not go above 25 so swimming is out even though we stop at a few place for a look.  We raise the head sail a few times but what wind there is does not last long.

As we round the bottom of the island we find the caves we have seen advertised.  You can take a local cruise from Nidri and some of the ships can go right up inside some of the caves.

We arrive at Spartakhori around 2pm, as it takes us three hours to get there.  We are missing our British mates, G & T and J & T as we all met up here last year for dinner.

We are beside an adorable Welsh couple who have been on their trip for the same time as us and sounds like they have had worse weather than us.  They were sailing around the Peloponnese and like us went the wrong way for the winds.
After a refreshing dip in the water we retire for a siesta.

We are eating at the local Taverna tonight and enjoying the sea breeze.  It looks like it may even rain later on.
