We started our day after reserving our beach loungers then walking to the end of the island. As we left, I took a picture of our solitary loungers. The water was calm and clear. This part of the island has a lower one way road going north and a higher road going south. Close to the end, it becomes a two way. Scooters and cars drive by you so fast within inches sometimes. No 40km speed limits here.
Kalymnos is famous for free climbing. The pictures of the concave area of the mountain is their optimum location as well as the flat face of the mountain, as pictured. We walked to the end, then back for a swim before lunch by our beach which is a tongue twister to pronounce, Melitsahas. We shared a Caesar salad and a plate of fries, which are the best in the world. They are lightly golden and incredibly tasty. Obviously, twice cooked but whatever oil they use makes them delicious. Never had better than in Greece. I also had a half portion of white bait. The huge salad was probably one of the best as it included ham and warm chicken and lots of small croutons. The dressing was sensational. We were stuffed. I couldn’t get through even a quarter of the white bait, a collective term for small fish battered and fried. We brought the leftovers home. I washed a couple and treated Muchka. She was meowing as I was in the kitchen somehow knowing I was preparing a treat for her. On a plate and down they went in a flash. Muchka is a lucky cat.
Wine at lunch makes one sleepy and so we snoozed on our loungers while bathing in the filtered sun. On our walk, we picked up a cucumber, a red pepper, and a tomato for dinner along with four country sausages. It was a very satisfying dinner, accompanied with fried bread courtesy of the mini market man who gave us two loaves on Sunday because he got no fresh bread as bakeries were closed and they’d go stale, not if you freeze them. Really good bread when fried.
We finished our day with a short black coffee and a Mataxa with some milk chocolate on our patio. A lovely day.
You two live like a pharaoh!
