2019 - Chios - Katarraktis

Well this our final destination on Chios and we are staying in a lovely little hotel in Katarraktis.  It has a pool and we have views over the sea.  Unfortunately it's rather cool so we are still in jeans!  On the up side we have found a taverna that serves bottles of Mastic at the end of the meal, although I'm not sure you are supposed to drink the whole thing (which Paul did the first time we went!!!). Unsurprisingly, on our next visit we were only given half a bottle 😍.

We went for a walk along the coast one day which got warmer as it went on. We found a lovely taverna on the beach and had the best prawn saganaki we have ever had. Decided to have a bit of a sprawl on the beach before walking back. This was some of the clearest water we had ever seen.

All in all we had a lovely time on this beautiful island and will definitely return one day. Hopefully there will be more tourists for them after the recent refugee crisis but it was nice having the place almost to ourselves!
