Finally getting around to walking down into Agios Nikitas, after two months of taking photos from the ocean-side overlook, and then turning around in town at the intersection where the pedestrian section starts. It always looked cool from the overlook, and had a nice little beach that probably will be full of people in the summer.
We parked up at the top of town, said kalimera to the two old guys sitting at what ended up being the only place in town that was open, and then started down the hill into town. Lots of cute white and blue buildings, closed up for the winter, lined the cobblestone pedestrian street that wound down to the beachfront. Definitely saw more cats than people, including three that popped out of a dumpster as they heard us approach, as well as a couple super-fluffy youngsters in the middle of town with a full-on gang of cats. Barely any people around, even though we could see evidence of them, if only in the food bowls and water bowls left out for the feline population.
Got down to the beach and found that parts of it were actually sand! I could hardly believe it. That being said, still mostly pebbles, which are zero fun to walk around on, but I braved it and stuck my feet in the sand and the water.
Was hoping there might be even one taverna or coffee shop down on the beach that might still be stubbornly open, but to no avail. Just some great photo opportunities.
