it is all uphill on Serifos

last night as we arrived we saw a spectacular hillside village so today we decided to walk there.

mr Vangelis serve up a delicious breakfast with thick creamy yoghurt and his wife's own preserved fruit and we were soon ready to leave.

The Harbour looked beautiful in the morning sunshine and the track took us uphill through fields and past small farms along a cobbled set of steps.  Chora, our destination was a beautiful white washed Village with well kept houses nearly all with blue doors and with pots of flowers everywhere.

we stopped for refreshments in the square of Upper Chora whilst watching the local delivery service , then climbed higher still to the castle and the churches right on top of the hill. 

There are some photogenic traditional windmills on the far side of the village so we visited them. By now it was nearly noon and getting hot so we took the bus down the hill admiring the driver's skill as he negotiated the hairpin bends.

we popped into the shops in the village and collected what we needed for tonight's dinner then returned to our apartment for lunch and a siesta.
