Samantha and I have spent about half of the past year in Greece. Here’s an illustrated diary of sights from the Sporadic Islands from last fall.
 |
Fishing boats fill small Greek harbors (Patitiri, Alónnisos).
|
 |
Some of the olive trees have taken on curved shapes from the wind. |
 |
Cats enjoy the Greek sunlight.
|
 |
Despite being our favorite coffee drink, the freddo cappuccino is shockingly unknown outside of Greece. They use a milkshake blender to make a whipped cream layer for the top of a cappuccino. Delicious iced on a hot summer day.
|
 |
A view over Steni Vala on Alónnisos.
|
 |
Goats chew the scenery all over in Greece.
|
 |
| Sailboats float near the empty beaches. |
 |
Greek fish is so fresh and tasty. Here’s a fish called, cutely,
boops boops. |
 |
| Our friend, Dimitra. Her family owns a house in the old town on Alonissos, and we met her there a few years ago. We got to visit with her In Athens in June from a safe distance (!) in Pedion tou Areos park. |
 |
The swimming on Alónnisos is some of the most serene you can experience. And the pebbly beaches all have stunning views.
|
 |
The night skies are an evening's entertainment. The moon and stars are vivid like nowhere else.

 |
Sam waits for the ferry to take us to the next destination in Greece. |
