Saturday 11th October 2025 – Akrata Beach, Greece

The campsite has been full every day that we have been here and we were glad that we booked in advance to guarantee our pitch. We heard Tula turning people away, including two vans whose Austrian owners were insisting that their vans would fit on the available pitches. Tula pointed out that she knew that they wouldn’t!
I chatted to the very amiable Manolis and asked him when he was going to buy the land next to the campsite so that he could expand. Next week, hopefully ,he said. He has been trying to buy it for 15 years but he thinks that it might happen next week. I hope that he succeeds – he and Tula run the campsite really well and have made a great success of it.
I went out for a short bike ride and got some shopping from a supermarket in the main village on the other side of the Krathis River that runs down next to the campsite. I bought a pre-cooked, spit-roasted chicken that was excellent with Patates Lemonates (Greek roasted lemony potatoes) and courgettes.
