It’s mid morning and we have just finished a simple breakfast whilst gazing in awe at the glorious Ionian island chain. Zakynthos, Ithaca, Corfu, Kefalonia, Lefkada, Paxi (or Paxos) and Kythira are the seven largest and most popular islands. We are on our way to Patras then by bus to Athens. The ferry is fine with comfortable cabin and good simple food.

Surprised to be woken up at four in the morning as the ferry stopped at Igoumenitsa. Awake by 9 in time to enjoy the sights
