Chora and Tholaria

 

This morning we drove to Chora and then to Tholaria. Chora (which means "Town" in Greek), is often used as the name of the main, old, high town on an island.

The drive from Chora to Tholaria was very high and winding with spectacular views and at the highest part there were many goats on the road. The hills were covered in stonewall terraces and the views down to the sea and neighbouring islands were like the view from a plane window.

The girls all did a cooking class at Tholaria while the boys went to a nearby seaside town, Aegiali, and whiled away the time in a bar.
