Scooter Day #2
Today saw us heading up the left hand side (north part) of the island effectively tracking the brown road out of Linaria along the west coast then clockwise across the north and back down past Skyros town on the east & back down to Linaria again.
Early morning we visited Pefkos bay just over the hill to investigate both the taverna for later that night and the moorings we had seen while transiting the short cut. We didn’t even stop for a coffee, being too early into our road trip.

Our next stop for coffee was Aghios Fokkas in a beach bar Kantina type of place, boasting beach beds and a massive luxury yacht at anchor.

Then it was north again through Klouthros & Atsitsa
before rounding the north just in front of the Aerodrome and heading back down.
There were some lovely spots and equally remote and challenging countryside that I would imagine would be hard to cultivate, but lovely to travel through.
2 days however on the back of a bike begins to cause Louise a bit discomfort and today was more of a distance than yesterday with not many stops until back Skiros town side. Late afternoon found us back in Linaria looking forward to dinner locally in the port that night.
And so ends Scooter Day #2
