After another beautiful very fast sail (35 nautical miles at average speed of 7.5 knots) and given that the wind was blowing about 21 knots when we arrived on the island, we decided to anchor instead of going to the harbour. We found an amazingly well protected (from the waves/swell but not from the wind of course) anchorage in OR. Skhinoudra. Immediately we spotted a restaurant that seemed very typical and charming on the beach in front of our mooring and that even had some trees in front of its terrace (The Cyclades Islands are pretty rough and with very little trees or green) and got very excited until we discovered, when we later went ashore walk around the tiny village in the bay just next to ours where there is a little cute fishing harbour, that  as most restaurants and coffees in that village, the one we spotted was also closed till at least the end of the month ! We did see a Taverna open, yet it did not inspire me. What inspired us on the other hand was a very colourful and interestingly decorated coffee shop (open - miracle !) called “Maltese” (or something like that !) which we read from sailors’ blog that they were serving very good “frappé coffee”, yet as it was almost 7 pm we decided to go for an Alpha beer instead (and should have shared one give the size of the beer !!) and some very good “mezze”!
