Another of Capt Pakis' stories: he says on the saint's day in Sept last year, 50 people went to Aghia Panaghia for the service, bad weather prevented the boats from leaving so they had to bed down in the monastery (built for 15 monks) and the farm (built for one family) for 10 days. He says there were 4,000 wild goats on the island- not so many now! Perhaps that's why the monk was "not in for visitors" when we went, still trying to get his solitude back!
For the few real addicts on my Photobox list, I've put a small album up.
