Location: Antiparos
Walkers: Helen
In the morning I stopped into my favourite little supermarket for water.
And then waited for the local bus. It was a thirty minute ride to the last stop, Agios Georgios at the south of the island.
There is no village centre as such as Agios Georgios - just a couple of tavernas and a few boats moored next to the beach.
The houses - most of them large mansions - were dotted around the hills. It seemed very quiet - truly, very few people around.
I followed the road along the coast. Across the water I could see the uninhabited island of Despotiko.
It was fairly windy but I found a small sheltered beach, which I had all to myself. A small tree for shade, and a gorgeous ocean.
At lunchtime I walked back to the taverna and ordered fish and salad.
Octopus and fish were drying in the sun. So strange.
In the afternoon I hung out at the main beach.
When I got back to Antiparos town I went to have a look at the Kastro.
And sat down at a cafe and watched the world go by.

I'm trying to imagine citting at the cafe and enjoying the relaxed atmosphere that seems to prevail there.
