If you go in the other direction, you can walk out to the old Venetian lighthouse on the headland. It's in ruins now, having been replaced by a Victorian lighthouse, but it's great for exploring.
Greece hasn't gone Health and Safety mad, so it's possible to climb all the way to the top (mind you we did recently find a website that said it was possible, but not advisable, to climb the tower. The article was probably written by Brits!). We felt very safe climbing up and found a great Eddie sized porthole half way up which provided a great opportunity to have a rest and check out the view to sea.
It didn't take long to get to the top and hopefully you see it's me at the top, by my profile of sticky out ears. It was wonderful to have such great 360 degree views, but my favourite was the view out across the harbour approach. I took a seat in the sun to watch all the sailing boats. Fortunately for me - not so good for the sailors - there wasn't much wind, so I wasn't in any danger of being blown off my tower top perch.
Seeing all those boats heading out of harbour made me think of Dunkirk - not that I was there - and I truly knew what is is to be 'king of the castle'.
Lots of love Eddie, George and Yorkie xxx
