Wed 13 Sep - Frikes bay was buzzing with activity with many, many yachts docked in the small port village. The yachties gathered on the pier for a group picnic watching the big ferries pass on their way to Patras. |

Above Left - Driving from Stavros to Anoghi, Stavros, Platrithia and Exoghi sparkle below as night falls earlier on Ithaki. The sun now sets around 8.30pm. Above Right - From Hani (Chani) a red glow radiating from the shoreline of Cephalonia opposite, pierces through the blackness of night. Seems like a yacht group may have decided to light a bonfire on the beach. |

Fri 15 Sep - Below - More strange trails in the sky over Ithaki and Cephalonia. The one heading in the direction of the moon is particularly interesting as the setting sun illuminates it in the sky. The trails widen, but don't disappear. |

Sun 17 Sep - Below Left - A glimpse of the approaching winter with dark skies and drizzle today. The only thing missing is the cold. The temp is quite mild, even a little sticky. Visitors arriving today will be welcomed by a grey day. |

Wed 20 Sep - The southern views are something to behold on a temperamental weather day. Sunshine, heavy dark skies, rain, storm and more. Just outside of Vathy around Dexa, the seas are calm while the skies rage and clear continuously throughout the day. These September days, the Season change is very evident. |

Above - Karamela Cafe across from the ferry port is a great place to watch the boats in the bay while you wait for your ship to come in or while you dream of that yacht you'll own one day. |
