Went to a little restaurant and ate with 2 ladies from New York and Florida. We shared grape leaves wrapped in cheese. Very unusual. John had a lamb kabob and I had pork. We had coffee Ouzo and we loved it. These ladies loved Trump❤️ Back to the ship Second day we went to new town and then to a beach. The water was cool not cold.

Amazing views. Did not do a tour. 580 steps up to top either by foot donkey or cable car. We took the cable car. Walked through town. Took a bus to the church with blue dome. Our bus driver hit another bus. Damage to the mirror. Streets extremely narrow. Had some Greek wine and shrimp with our friends from Scotland. Beautiful place
