29th July Chalk and clay, astounding eroded rock formations. No campsite here at all, but free camping on the beach. Very much quieter here than the other islands, and we are having to practise our Greek.

The campsite is big and commercial, tents packed close together. There’s a swimming pool — the kids would spend the whole time there if we didn’t drag them out to the beach! It’s much too hot to sleep in the tent, so Callum and I sleep on the beach under a tamarisk tree, blasted by sand blown […]

Camping Antiparos

A busy campsite, but very relaxed atmosphere. People sitting playing chess and backgammon, 1970s rock music playing in the cafe, five minutes to the (swimming costumes definitely optional) beach.

A well earned decent feast — food on the ferry was a bit sparce due to the pricey food on board and […]
