Today we drove to the southern most point of the island. Prassonisi is a windsurfer/kite boarder paradise. It is a highly windy beach where hundreds of waterspouts enthusiasts find their nirvana. There are experts (amazing to watch!) and novices alike.
This is also where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean in Greece. There is a Peninsula at the end of the island that during the winter becomes a Peninsula and an island, however during the summer the water is calmer and you can walk on the sand that is covered with water during the colder months. When you are on that sandy area, the Mediterranean is to one side of you and the Aegean is to the other. I have had this opportunity once before when in Tangier, Morocco.
While we enjoyed the sights and activity at Prasonissi, the wind was annoying so after a beach lunch we packed up and headed for a different beach that would be more relaxation friendly.
We ended up at Porto Antico, a developed beachfront with advertised free sunbeds (with a purchase, of course). Cocktails for the non DD's and "fresh" orange juice for the drivers (freshly made OJ/ sugar/ water mixture). Sun and swimming and then just as we began to contemplate dinner our cabana boy showed up with a delightful surprise!!!! Annelle was treating us all to Gyros (Greek salads for the veg crowd) and another round of drinks. Dinner solved!!! Thanks Annelle!!!!
The one dark side to our day was that Lauri and Gina had decided that they needed to go back home to be with dad/grandpa. We tried to make as many fun memories as we could in the time we had together.
