With wind speed of more then 24, we put sails and head to Astypalaia. Well that’s what we planned that morning. Strong wind is one thing, but getting cross waves for hours, and Garmin GPS measured more elevation of more than 12 meters. So sailing felt more like surfing. Even though I enjoyed surfing the boat on the waves, it was kinda scary as you don’t know the limits. With that being said, we made last minute change, seeking for protection of the waves - after more than 4 hours of rough see - behind some islands. And that, that brought us to this wonderful lonely islands called Levitha. Levitha is an island where only 5 humans, and virtually hundreds of goats and sheep live. The Family offers 8 buoys and a small cute restaurant with this “typical” daily menu where you may be lucky to get what you order, or not if its out. So that’s fresh. The family really understands hospitality and I’d always go back there when possible. Next day, we did a short but tough hike to one of the mountains. 140 meters of elevation on a not existing rocky trail.
We saw the goats and sheep and how they were given water by the farmer. Where the vines grow and also found some interesting crystals and munitions from Second World War.Weiterlesen
