A family break during Easter 2022. We’re staying in the tiny hamlet of Amberley. Enroute we stop off at the pretty cathedral town of Chichester. The traditional seaside resort of Bognor Regis is much nicer than I had imagined !

London bound
We try to visit the capital at least once a year but the pandemic put pay to that. But we’re making up for lost time and here’s a trip from March 2022. This time it’s Little Venice on our hitlist. Then Paddington Basin. There’s always something new to see in the capital. Nottinghill and marketsContinue reading “London bound”
Holy crap!
As a final farewell to our amazing Greek island tour we round off our trip with one of the more unusual tourist experiences – loitering near Skiathos airport!

Last Alonnisos
It’s been short and sweet stay on Alonnisos so we’re off again, back to Skiathos for the last few days of our holiday. So last looks at the tiny island of Alonissos as we sail off into the blue. We sail past our previous stop, the little white town of Skopolos. If I squint canContinue reading “Last Alonnisos”
Alonissos town
After our encounter with the local nudist beach we high tail it back to see if the Chora has woken up yet! And we are delighted to see that the shops have thrown open their shutters and started to open up. Whether its painted tin cups or locally made colourful candles, I can’t resist aContinue reading “Alonissos town”

One of the sandiest beaches on Skopolos (as most are shingle or pebble) this crescent of sand had a starring role in the Mamma Mia hit film. Verdant green pine forests tumble down almost to the water while crystal clear waters lap theContinue reading “Paralia Kastani”
Panormos Beach
Panormos Beach is a wonderful sweep of pebbles leading into perfect waters. The term Panormos is ancient Greek, and was mentioned by Homer, meaning “sheltered harbor” or “sheltered moorage The large, bowl shaped bay consists of a long, fine pebbled beach, lots of small coves.
Ligaries beach
The first beach of the day is Ligaries Beach. A windswept and lonely spot that is empty save us when we arrive. Getting to the beach can be a bit of a challenge – there’s a dirt road that leads to the beach which is passable with our quad bike but could be a bitContinue reading “Ligaries beach”
Colourful house at lizard
Feeling a bit droopy after being dragged away from Kynance Cove but I am immensely cheered up with the discovery of some colourful homesteads at Lizard. This stunning cerise joy is a vivid sight to behold! Especially when the sunlight hits it. Few things fill me with quite so much delight as a brightly colouredContinue reading “Colourful house at lizard”
