Paros Island, Greece 2016

I got waylaid by Ciaran's exhibition in The Kemp Gallery so never got to write fully about our recent trip to Greece.  So here's a little bit about the next island we stopped at...

When we were leaving Sifnos, we had heard that the weather was going to take a turn and we should head for safe harbour in Paros. This became our plan and we aimed to be docked up by 3pm.

Along the way we took a dip by holding on to a rope off the back of the boat - such fun!  It was one of my favourite things to do.

When we arrived in Paros the harbour was full. On the radio before we entered, the harbour master told us there was no room.  We had to anchor just outside the harbour. 

To get in to Paros to have some dinner we took the dinghy.  Here it is tied up after the short trip to land.

We chose a nice restaurant facing out on to the harbour.  There were lots of cats about in the restaurants and on this occasion we were also joined for dinner by a duck!

I had a very tasty Tuna Carpaccio for dinner - with wine that cost about €5 for a carafe! The red wine is served very cold which means you can't really taste it......probably a good thing.
