After breakfast this morning I left the hotel and went down to the beach for one last morning by the sea. I’d not swum at Finikounda yet so needed to correct that. I had a lovely couple of hours at the beach, got bitten by a fish, swam in the sea, sunbathed…. Continue Reading
Methoni’s beach is shallow and sandy which is perfect for me…while a strong swimmer I don’t like being out of my depth in the sea. The water in Methoni is so clear – and refreshing to swim in on a hot Summer’s day (or, as we’re now in to October, a hot Autumn day). Continue Reading
