Island Shopping

Ermou, the island's 'High Street' , a narrow  lane with 2 laundries, a sports shop, craft shop with a real working loom, traditional taverna with warming trays of classic Greek dishes to choice from. A free book swap run by the Municipality, books in every language . A hardware shop, an optician and a few I've forgotten. A little church of course. 

Poros High Street 

A tiny chapel

On the corner is 'The Glykisma' . In English 'The SweetShop'

A tray of galaktobouriko 

Syrupy custard squares

It was still warm from the oven when I picked up a couple of squares for K.  His all-time favourite and it has to be from this bakery

Classic Souvenirs 

 Maria is there every day.  With a smile.   This long established shop sells bags with blue eyes to keep away evil, hats, tshirts, magnets and whatever is in fashion for tourists this season .  You'll find the ideal Poros  momento 

And right next door to Maria is my daughter Danae in the upscale bottle store

My 2 girls and one of my lovely sons in law

The Luxury bottle shop where a good Vodka costs 890 euros. I try not to touch the merchandise. 

'Break it and pay for it' is not an option!

  Danae will happily sell you a bottle of water for 50c if you don't have a few extra hundreds for her good whisky or vodka 

 

The big Greengrocer in the middle of town caters to local aliens like me, foreign visitors and yachties

This is where I found passionfruit. I couldn't believe my eyes.  I had to touch one to see if it was real.  A fruit from home

They had mangos too, papaya and fresh ginger

The only hint of Halloween I've ever seen around here
