Monolithos

Christos Corner

Arriving at Monolithos we soon found very good accommodation at Christos Corner. Our double room with balcony cost only €30 for the two of us, including continental breakfast. We settled in and realised that although our room didn't have air conditioning we weren't going to need it. It's much breezier here than on the east coast and the temperature in the room was comfortable. Here's the view from our balcony:

As I wasn't intending to drive any more that day I ordered a Mythos in the restaurant downstairs and we spoke to our hosts. They suggested we walked up the road later to watch the sunset over Monolithos Castle, which we readily agreed was a good idea as it sounded like a good video/photo opportunity. First, though, we'd take them up on their offer of home-made beef sausages with salad and chips. Very good indeed. A wonderful family-run business. However, on 14 June 2012 we were the only guests.

Goat Bells

Our evening walk took an unexpected turn with the arrival of many goats on the road. I was happier filming these goats than filming the sunset. Their bells made a wonderful racket as you can hear in the video.
