Sunrise,Tzatziki & an island or two

The last couple days we cycled from Kavala to Thessaloniki using the old main road along the coast. We are now on puncture 14! Other then that we thouroughly enjoyed our roll along the sea - with some hills, some tourist villages and with warm but not too hot weather - Lovely.
We rolled past vinyards, sugar cane and cotton fields.



Now and then archeological sites and monuments appear along the road like this impressive 1600 year old lion statue,which is the "Lion of Amphipoli" build in honour of one of the admirals of Alexander the Great...
We enjoyed watching the sunrise at breakfast...very romantic indeed.


In Thessaloniki we hopped on the overnight ferry to Levsos....see below about to land in Mytilini, the main town of the island.

We chilled out in the harbour and will move on tomorrow night to the island of Chios before taking the last ferry to Lavrio,on the mainland SE of Athens and then heading for the airport...
We are slowly trying to ease ourselves into the fact that we are in our last few days...
