Very calm so no problems for Hilary. Stopped for swimming off the boat on the way to the main town Vathy where we had a 90 minute stop. Walked through the town and found a free archaeological museum with some very intricate little seals and pottery items. Told that people like Madonna, MR Bean and John Hurt have houses here, and a very good choice indeed.
On from here to a smaller port where we stopped for another 90 minutes including lunch sitting outside on a very narrow street corner. Had a mooch around after, walking around the bay a bit.
Back via another place for swimming off the boat, then seeing goats walking nonchalantly along cliff paths. Shown how the earthquake of 1953 had lifted the whole island 60 cm, revealing undercuts on the shoreline that had previously been underwater.
Evening meal in a restaurant off the main road and a lot quieter, ie away from the Brits.
