On the last day at the island, I visited a beach a little south of the town and the airport. It was a bright warm day and the water was crystal clear.
Την τελευταία μέρα της παραμονής στην Χίο, πήγα σε μιά μικρή παραλία, λίγο πιο νότια από την πόλη και το αεροδρόμιο. Ήταν μια όμορφη ζεστή μέρα και τα νερά ήταν πεντακάθαρα, σαν κρύσταλο.
There was that little fish tavern next to the beach., where we sat for lunch. The owner had a couple of octopuses hanged on the wire to dry in the sun.
Στο διπλανό ταβερνάκι που κάτσαμε για φαγητό, ο οδιοκτήτης είχε απλώσει μερικά χταπόδια για να στεγνώσουν στον ήλιο.
It looks like it is not just me who likes octopus.
Το χταποδάκι, όπως φαίνεται, δεν αρέσει μόνο σε μένα.
Half halfheartedly, I had to say good bye to the beautiful island.
Με μισή καρδιά αποχαιρέτησα το όμορφο νησί.

I have only had octopus a few times, wondered why they hung it up.Nice shots Costas.
Costas, these photos are so wonderfully beautiful. Makes me feel (and wish) that I was there right now. Your banner photo is out of this world.
Such a beautiful place and your photos are superb as always, Costas.
I love the octopus and that hungry little guy enjoying a meal! Always fun to be able to catch a shot like that!! I find octopus very tasty as well, although the only place I've found it was in Greece! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy!

I would love to swim in that cristal water! Honestly beautiful pictures!
Wow, never seen anything like the octopus on the lines! I am captivated by it.

Oh, fabulous! I want to be there! I especially like the 6th photos of the three octopus (pi?) (pusses?) - would make a good cover for a holiday brochure.
What beautiful photos, Costas! Even though the octopus shots are pretty scary, the rest of your photos/visit are enthralling. What beauty surrounds you, or what beauty you see and magnify!
υπέοχες οι φωτό σου πολύ καλλιτεχνικές .Το χταποδάκι ευχαρίστως το έπαιρνα αν έφευγε απο πάνω του αυτό το μελίσσι απο εκεί...μπρρρρρ πολύ τα φοβάμαι
So lovely a place and I have enjoyed Squid, not Octopus per say, but it was very tasty in a Japanese house, where we sat on cushions on the floor and the women wore kimonos and the gents happy coats. We would place the Squid and seaweed in a little dish of delicious sauce, oh I am hungry now~
beautiful place...great photos...nice reportage :)
i hope i'll be there next year...
Awesome shots, Costas. Your header is fantastic!
It's a gorgeous place to visit and to live, I bet. And peebles! Love them.
I'd eat a full pan of octopus all by myself if allowed! ;)
All your posts from my island are so wonderful! Thank you for advertising it in such a great way. Mary.
