A fertile valley, and a coastal headland

Two shorter walks today.

First we drove to Kavadades, and had a pleasant meander through a cultivated valley between here and Armenades. Many fields of potatoes, grape vines, onions etc. There were loads of fig trees around here (as there were in many parts of the island) but the figs are as yet unripe.

We did eat plums and mulberries though. Mulberries are shaped like an elongated bramble (blackberry) but are surprisingly not as tasty.

Then we got back in the car and headed for the resort village of Arillas. This was quite small and very pleasant. We walked from here up to a headland with a church and a shrine on it.

From here we could have carried on walking to Agios Stefanos, but at this point we were both very hot and the thought of a swim in the sea was very appealing. So we walked back to the car then drove round to the larger resort of Agios Stefanos. Here we parked the car next to a stream which had more fish and terrapins in it, then went for a swim followed by some beer and ice cream.

Dinner tonight was at a restaurant just across the road from the apartment, good quality and quite reasonably priced again.
