To Ierissos

7 Mar

Finally back on a bit more cycling… the condition starts to be a little bit to be back!

The day started nicely…. with the same view as yesterday with a nice beach. 

The only negative point: I had thought to stay one day longer here at the Orange Beach, but the weather forecast was not playing with my hiking plans for Mt Athos. 

So I decided to leave towards Ierissos…. but having a walk first at the beach…

That have some sculptures about the nudist place….

And I couldn’t let it…. 
The costal road was going up and down (by the end of the day over 1300m of climbing) with some watching points for fire… which are strongly forbidden on the whole island 

First darker clouds were appearing…

But still nice water…
View to the other side of the descent:

And a memorial for some F5 Tiger pilots…

And a nice old looking vessel:

Overlaying firefighter plane exercising

And mostly ghost villages 

But here and there very expensive houses. Extraordinary contrasting!

And arriving to Pyrgadikia

Where I had my first Calamard since long…years!just after the coffee, there was straight a 250m climbing…with nice dark clouds in the back 

A little descent (after changing the clothes) at 9°C

And 200m up again…

Sometimes it’s worth looking back to see the sun starting to go down…

Again a church in a village…

And just before the last descent to Ierissos…
