Friday 10th October 2025 – Akrata Beach, Greece

A day of relaxing, blog writing, chores and reading. I have nearly finished an excellent book, ‘The Shortest History of Greece’ by James Heneage. The author is British but lives in the Peloponnese and the book covers Ancient Greece to the modern day, through Greek independence, bankruptcy, war, civil war, political chaos and the Greek financial crisis. Especially fascinating was the time that we have known and visited Greece – from the late 1970’s to today.
We have seen very few British vans since we have been in Greece but there are currently two in this camping. One is a family of four in a caravan and I got talking to another couple just a few pitches away. Michael and Susie are from Glasgow and, like us, retired early and love to travel. I just stopped to say hello but it turned out to be a very pleasant long chat and Jane wondered where I had got to.
