Sunday 1st June 2008 – Kato Gatzea, Pelio, Greece



We felt that we should do something energetic this morning before it got to hot, so we took a marked footpath from the local village of Kato Gatzea. On the way to the village, we walked through the Hellas International campsite that is next to our campsite and, although it is quite pleasant, it is certainly not as good as Sikia. The footpath lead us through large olive groves, passed some lovely individual houses to the village of Ano Gatzea. We heard a train of the preserved railway that runs up the hills in this area but did not find the line. After a quick look at the village we retraced our steps and returned to the campsite for lunch. The rest of the day was spent reading and, in Jane's case, swimming – two days running, that is quite a record, the sea must be warm!
There was more Greek music again this evening but a quick visit established that it was the same group, so we decided to listen to them from the comfort of the van.
