We had a snack at the valerian then drove on to have a late lunch at a taverna in a typical Greek village. The table was set under a plane tree. From there we drove to Athens and took the plane home.

It was a very good holiday

This is the gps map for the whole holiday, it enlarges enormously. The number of pins is not impressive as many of the plants and butterflies were very close together. It looks as if there is a large inflatable blue shark stuck in the Gulf of Corinth!

Map including Athens enlarges even more than the other one.
