TODAY is the compulsory free day (Boo!) in the Amateur Chess Organization's world senior championship, which is being held at Crete's Fodele Beach Resort.
This morning I again walked up to the village of Fodele, intending to head on further into the hills.
But at the far end of the village I saw a sign for a Nature Path which ran through that rarity on a Greek island, a wood.
The path turned out to be quite short but also quite interesting.

| The path follows a shallow river - little more than a stream in places - that has to be forded, but this poses little difficulty |
 |
| Even a footpath gets a shrine, this one commemorating someone who died in 2011 |
This turned out to be an 11th century church built on sixth century foundations.

Unfortunately the church is only open at weekends, but perhaps I will be able to return on Saturday.
That's not what I'd call a "Rest Day"! Thinking about coming home - can you outline the process for getting your pre-travel Covid test? Will the Hotel help; how much; etc?
ReplyDeleteI have booked an antigen test at the hotel for tomorrow morning. Antigen is sufficient for the pre-travel test (but not for the day 2 + 8 tests after returning home). It costs 35 euros.
ReplyDeleteBasically there is a private medical team that comes to the hotel between 9am and 10.30am every day to conduct requested covid tests.
