Levsos, Chios & the long way home

We are in Wales! After almost 24hr travel with bicycle,ferry, taxi, plane and car we made it home to Tim's parents.
The last few days in Greece were great. What a lovely finish to a fantastic trip.
First there was a bit more chilling out on the beaches of Levsos...

Then we took the ferry to the island of Chios where we stayed in the beautiful B&B of family Topakas.
After a idyllic breakfast in the courtyard we loaded the bikes one last time...

...and rode the 40km over the inland hills of Chios to get to the island's second Port in Mesta.

We passed the pretty village of Armolia, famous for its colourful pottery...

...and the picturesque town of Pyrgi with steep winding streets, painted houses and sundrying tomatoes hanging in the door frames...

We then boarded our last ferry to Lavrio and finished cycling with a final total of 4349km. What a trip, it'll still all have to sink in. We shall do a final sum up when we reach Scotland.
