\u039a\u03cc\u03bc\u03b7\u03c4\u03bf – Komito – After it had clouded over this afternoon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The last couple of days the Sun in Syros has been quite strong, and I’ve not really done much other than go to the beach.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a small breakfast in the apartment this morning – the caf\u00e9 down below opens properly tomorrow (June 1st).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I was straight on to the beach at Galissas – For most of the morning and the early part of the afternoon I had one whole end of the beach to myself; with the exception of one couple who came down to the beach with their 3 dogs. It was quite entertaining watching the dogs getting excited as they played and swam in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I left the beach at about 2 (siesta time) and went indoors for some lunch and to get out of the Sun for a couple of hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the late afternoon for a change of scene I got in the car and went to \u039a\u03cc\u03bc\u03b7\u03c4\u03bf \/ Komito beach<\/a>. Despite the fact it was now overcast it was still quite warm and the beach still relatively busy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I say busy compared to the beaches in Thassos which I more or less had to myself – but compared to how they are in August, this is quiet. At least I can still find a decent spot away from other beach-goers at this time of year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was quite hungry so went out for dinner a little earlier than normal tonight; My normal rule is that I won’t think about dinner until after the Sun has set (usually around 20:30 or maybe even later). I prefer eating my meal when the temperature has come down a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ate at the \u0397\u03bb\u03b9\u03bf\u03b2\u03b1\u03c3\u03af\u03bb\u03b5\u03bc\u03b1 \/ Sunset restaurant<\/a> in the village; I’d seen them writing up their daily specials board earlier and was interested in on of the dishes they had on offer. I had the \u039a\u03c1\u03b9\u03b8\u03b1\u03c1\u03cc\u03c4\u03bf \u03bc\u03b5 \u03bc\u03bf\u03c3\u03c7\u03ac\u03c1\u03b9 – beef with orzo pasta – a bit like a giouvetsi but not quite. I wasn’t quite sure what sauce it came in, it wasn’t tomato, it almost tasted slightly sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow a bit of housekeeping; I’ve got to go in to Ermoupoli to pick up my ferry tickets for Sunday. I booked them online several months ago but the Greek system means I have to get to the local ticket office to collect them. Then I will probably head in the direction of \u039a\u03af\u03bd\u03b9 \/ Kini and go to the beach there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m going to read for a bit on the balcony, and then head off to bed for the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
