Chios Town

The town itself is a half hour walk away with all the shopping facilities of a big town, and has a harbour proper that you can take your boat to but the chop and swell makes it look unpleasant and possibly even dangerous. I wouldn’t want to leave the boat there unattended for any length of time. It’s also the setting off and arrival point of the big inter-island ferries who just add to the slop.

There is a large “My Market “just 10 minutes away so that’s not too bad if you need to stock up.

I’ll bet that fat bloke in the rain doesn’t eat all this green stuff eh ?

But of course we would wander all the way in, in the guise of doing some shopping and then after settle down for an aperitif or meze lunch.

It’s a hard life this wandering about I’ll have you know!

Now for said aperitifs in the castle

and then the long, hot, but pretty walk back in the sun and a dip in the marina off the back of the boat.
