Lefkada

We spent the last 10 days on the Greek island of Lefkada, where the sea shines in the most beautiful turquoise.

We traveled by ferry from Split to Ancona and from there with another ferry to Igoumenitsa. We didn’t want to leave the EU, because that can be a bit more complicated with the dog. The ferry is expensive, but the party is legendary.

There isn’t much to report from Lefkada. We basically just hung out and visited a few beaches.

The season hasn’t started yet and it is incredibly peaceful. The sea here has a very special color and is breathtakingly beautiful.

In between, we also celebrated our wedding anniversary and Charly and I got a haircut.

We also used the time to get our car back in shape. The driver’s door was warped and no longer shut properly, an oil change was due, and we treated our Passat to new brake pads. There was also a spa day in the car wash for our brave car, which is about to turn 200'000. All of this costs only a fraction of what it does at home here. That’s probably why you still see really old wrecks on the road. Unbelievable what they still fix here, impossible where we live. I also haven’t seen so many L300 anywhere else before.

It’s exactly how a Swiss Bünzli like me imagines Greece: everyone is very friendly, funny, and extremely improvised and solution-oriented. Always a cigarette at the corner of the mouth and a glass of ouzo nearby.
