Lunch by the Beach Greek Style

So a walk in the little township and a self guided trip to a small local Greek church. It's all in white with two brass bells supported under a white stone arch with a simple cross above and as always up some simple marble stairs. It's a cool place out of the hot morning sun and a great place to collect one thoughts in the simply pews with the most elaborate ceiling and alter in timbers.

After some time at the church we walk a few km's to the seaside and find a couple of sun lounges all lined up like solders under umbrella again all in military formation so let's start to soak up the morning sun on a beach of muddish brown firm sand.
Angel our waiter has been coming down from the cafe up above high tide has been bring us some Greek draft beer which is very welcome at 11am with the warm breeze coming over the water and the small waves 100 mm high crashing at our feet !!! It's no Aussie beach but we are in Greece so lapping up what they have to offer.

It's so relaxing away from the crowds as most of the cruise ships patrons have gone on tours into Olympia but today as we sit and enjoy some bread, tzatziki, little cheese pies ( fetta warped in filo pastry and baked ) and a Greek salad. What a great way to chill out Greek style in Katakolon.
