45 kms away from Mytilini is the attractive village of Polichnitos.
It was founded by uniting all the small villages located in the area. There are numerous 19th century buildings harking back to a more prosperous time and the old communal olive press chimney now sports a stork’s nest. It was bigger than I expected and the houses are all quite close together despite loads of surrounding land, perhaps reserved for olive and animals though ?

The Scots people on the boat next to us in the marina have settled here. It is a nice spot, though I personally preferred Skala Polichnitou .
Scala, close to the village , is a settlement with salt pans on the gulf of Kalloni. The salt produced is believed to be the whitest and finest produced in the Mediterranean basin.

On the return I discovered some hot spring thermal baths next to a pretty wee church, bit niffy though. I should get used to it methinks – for when I eventually go to “Auld Nick’s Fire”
You are a mine of information. Maybe you should start writing a travel book. Looks lovely.xx
