Serifos

We spent the last full day of our Cyclades cruise on Serifos.  With just 1200 residents on the island, it is a quiet and simple island.  We arrived in the port and saw Chora, the island’s capital perched on the hill, about 4.5 km above the port.  Papa and I hiked to the top, along the narrow lanes and white washed houses.  The lanes are a maze!  It was beautiful!  Sprinkles fell along the way, and just as we got back down to sea level, the sky opened.  Thank goodness for umbrellas!  We had a late lunch at a local taverna, and set off in very rough seas about 15h.  We had a multi course last night dinner on the ship, just as we were arriving back in Lavrio.
