We walk from our beach hotel along the coast to Gythio. It feels like there are more restaurants in the town than residents. We had a delicious meal here last night, and we're already picking a place for tonight. We'll spend the afternoon lazing around on the beach, in the sea, and in the pool. After all, we're on vacation.
