Day 14 - Ios: Beach Day!
Magganari Beach, Ios
Today was a free day for us, so we rented a car and drove across the island to Magganari Beach. The drive was amazing on so many levels! First, because the car was a stick shift and I miss driving one! Second because the road winded up and down over and through the mountains in the middle of the island to get to the other side. While it was only 28 km, it took us 45 minutes. There were hairpin turns, steep drop offs with no guard rails, stunning views of the sea, little chapels dotting the hills, speed limits anywhere between 40 and 90 kph (can’t say that I ever approached 90!), and a herd of goats in the road at one point. Again not many pictures to share again today. We’ll be back to the cultural touring and photographing tomorrow.
