Karya and Katouna


9th September 2017
We took a trip inland to Katouna where a house was for sale. This little village was once inhabited by fishermen but now is a tiny hamlet of only 50 or so people. That said there were 3 tavernas to service them. The little narrow streets were flanked with shuttered windows in pale blues and greens and windows adorned with the local cut work lace, so pretty. I imagine some properties are holiday homes or owned by non Greeks. I could hear a radio through a window with commentary in English. The house for sale would have lovely views from top windows and balconies and it had a sweet little garden. Certainly a place to consider if you wanted to live here.

On Saturday we chose to travel up to Karya where we have been before as it was overcast and windy. Another little village where we bought some bread and then had coffee and cake in it's verandah town square. Several touristy shops here selling rugs, clothes, olive wood products and olive oil toiletries and hand made lace. I bought a piece.

Back down to the villa and a meet up with Jackie and Simon, who had spent their day at the beach - off for dinner in Syvota. It's a hard life!
