It was our first visit at this place. You have to leave your car and then walk along the beach to reach the edge of poseidi beach. It is about a 10 minute walk from the parking place. It is a heavenly place, you can admire the sea and the sandy coast with the greenery landscape from distance. However, it is difficult to admire it in its calm state as it is a place that it is full of winds and the sea is very wild. It is very dangerous for the children and for the people that are not so good swimmers. It is even difficult to open an umbrella, we did not even try that. There is a strong wind from both sides.

Pretty village with its cobbled streets. Plenty of shops and bars and three small supermarkets. Everyone in shops and bars very friendly and spoke fairly good English.

We cycled to Nea Fokaia from Afitos on the country back roads and it is a pretty little place with a small harbour, the Byzantine Tower and a few places to eat and drink. Worth stopping off for a look. It is being renovated but most of the scaffolding that was there in 2019 has now been removed and replaced with steps for when this opens to the public. Fences have been erected and a couple of benches so it was nice to sit and admire the view and watch the boats and just relax (before cycling back up 2 big hills to reach Afitos again!) I'm sure it would have been easier in a car but we got to see the countryside, keep fit and get a suntan all at the same time!

Having read Suzanna de Vries's book, Blue Ribbons, Bitter Bread, I was very keen to see the inside of this beautiful building. I was not disappointed. The artefacts displayed from 6thc.B.C. onwards were interesting enough, but for me, seeing where Joice Loch actually lived brought to life the reality of this wonderful lady's life - her typewriter, her bookshelf, the rugs, the oven etc. If you don't know anything about her, the information is well displayed with many photographs. Do research her before you go (or afterwards). She and her husband, Sydney, gave a tremendous amount of help to the refugees who were moved to this area between the wars and they deserve more recognition. It is such a shame there isn't more (any?) publicity about this place! It is well worth the 2 euro entrance fee.
