We left Poros on the morning of December 27th and headed towards Patras where we would board our ferry to Brindisi, Italy.
Having passed through Patras on our entry to Greece, we had little appetite to spend the night there but thought it was a good idea to get within easy reach so we’d be on hand in good time to board our ship on the afternoon of the 28th.
Our goal on this day was to reach a place called Melissi on the north coast of the Peloponnese just past Corinth that would leave us with an easy 2.5 hour drive to Patras the next day.
Just out of Poros, we saw this inlet with a site that is familiar on BC’s north coast.
The Lido Hotel in Melissi was family-run and they made us feel very welcome. It was located on the waterfront but at this time was catering mostly to those spending the holidays in the area or, like us, just passing through.
Our family has a soft spot for old VW products because of Laura-Lyn’s family history. Love of VWs seems to have passed on to Charlotte who took this photo of a fine specimen that belonged to our hosts at the Lido Hotel.
