Anyway, we had a great time in Thassos and all my wishes were granted:
a Mythos lager at a beach taverna
swimming in a turquoise sea
photo opportunities (our resort in the distance)
Greek salad, wine
and interesting wildlife!
This insect was around 5" long (with antennae even longer!) ...I think the 'false eye' on its side is meant to warn off predators. If you click on it you may see its real eye.
In the mountain village nearby I found a heart tree...
......and this was our village bus stop! Very sensible.....
Final photo for today; we stayed in a resort called Golden beach (or Scala Panagia) and this is the tiny village church.
Back in a couple of days with some artwork and more photos.

gorgeous, gorgeous turquoise sea. Lovely places, looks like you had a relaxing and wonderful time.
looks like a lovely getaway!!! welcome home!
OOhh lovely sea!
I went to Ashby today with my sister to 'Monk's Den' a card and crafters' supply shop. In the paint/rub on colours section was a tiny tub of watercolour shimmer paint called,'Turquoise Ocean', it was absolutely the best colour I've seen that says,'Summer'.
Glad you had a lovely holiday, shame about the stressful ride home :-).

Did that monster cricket eat any of your chips?
At five inches he wouldn't have even needed to chew before swallowing.
Gulp!
So glad you had a lovely time, it looks a beautiful place :-)
