Chora Sfakion

This is the view of Chora Sfakion, the place we are staying in, taken from the little taxi boat as we set off for another day on Sweetwater beach.

Our hotel is the last whitewashed building on the right; our room is the third from the right on the top floor.

When we got to the beach, the local birds of prey, Griffon Vultures apparently, were circling in large numbers at the top of the cliffs. The tater owner told us they would be looking for the carcasses of goats that may have lost their footing in yesterday’s storms; they wander freely all around the cliffs and along the beach here. The vultures looked huge even from the bottom of the cliffs.

Another lazy day of reading  (Kate Mosse’s The Ghost Ship) and snorkelling ensued
