Dikili

The Turkish side across the sea.

What a trip, what an experience, what a journey.
Would go back any time.
An island with three distinct ecosystems.

The highlights:
Our hostess, Fotini
Taksiarxis in Mantamado
The taverna at Skala Loutron for fresh fish; go for the one on the top of the road, not down by the boats.
The Horse Festival at Agia Paraskeui; you have to be there to believe it.
The narrow streets of Paleochori and the view of Melinta from the top.
The small village of Agra on the top of the mountains
Eresos
Moni Agiou Ioanni Theologou (who build that monastery up there...)
Mithymna (or else Molyvos)
The free camping near Agios Stefanos
Deeping in the fresh water of a small stream on mountain Olympos
