Our island is all about blue sea and sky.
Small fishing boat called a kaïki. Those are leaves in the water...... Not dead fish
Waiting for the car ferry across to the island
Thar she blows!
The Nisos Poros - Poros Island
Hellenic Naval Training Ship

Son in law Yiannis at the top of a mast mending..... something or other
He's sitting in a sort of sling, attached to ropes
Grandson George is down on deck coordinating and keeping the sling steady
The picturesque tumble of houses.
Taken on a day when red Saharan dust covered the deep blue sky.
This is a photo taken from the car ferry. Visitors often ask me to point out our old house where daughter Elli lives now.
I can find it easily. It's not at all easy to pinpoint it for others
The narrow house with 2 blue shuttters
You can imagine the view from the roof terrace
Wonderful for photos of the sunset.
The header photo on my blog was taken from there.
Great place for a g&t on a summer night
Are you ready to take a photo of Tony and Rainy hopping off the ferry ? She's excited to see Poppi today
ReplyDeleteGot the camera ready!! Let the good times begin 😊😊
DeleteBlue, blue, blue.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
Blue in summer and green in winter. My favourite colourz
DeleteI often think of Greece as being really colourful with blue skies. I'm sure it's buzzing over Summer.
ReplyDeleteIt's already buzzing. We're in for a nerve breaking summer
DeleteI’m guessing you have a beautiful view from anywhere on the island.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your glorious weather. We are currently rugged up with the fire going
Yes, most views are beautiful. It's warm these, days without being too hot. Lovely
DeleteOur skies are a bit grey this morning, and the sea a bit dull. Poros demonstrates why we Brits go on holiday to such lovely places.
ReplyDeleteTourist always stick out at this time of the year. We are still in long sleeves and they're in skimpy summer clothes
DeleteWonderful blue skies. You live in such a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a bad place to live lol
DeleteBeautiful blue skies and the water looks so inviting. Had to zoom in but found your grandson on the deck :)
ReplyDeleteThat was clever of you to zoom in!!
DeleteStunning - all of it. We sailed in there on quite a few occasions and I did my boat parking test for my Day-skipper licence alongside a crowded quay at Poros.
ReplyDeleteWe have observed those yacht manoeuvres sitting in harbourside cafes. Wonder if we saw you too. Always lots to watch
DeleteYou're living in your own paradise.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful- I'm sitting in Wellington feeling warm looking at your photos.
ReplyDeleteI have quite a few of your posts to read back. What a wonderful world you have there. I remember once sitting on one of the Greek islands, I think it was the island of Tinos, I saw the houses on the mountainside and wondered to myself how the people who live there go down and up the steep roads there every time. Of course, even then I was very jealous of anyone who lives on a Greek island.
