Thanks for going to the trouble of writing all that. I've sailed past Angistri several times but never set foot on it. Aegina was overrun with Athenian motor boats last time we were there; we couldn't get into the harbour to buy food.
One of the beaches had been closed by the mayor and cordoned off as the path had become too eroded. A guy in hi-vi was sitting there on a folding stool reading a book and making sure no-one risked it.
Paths being closed is common, especially near "nice houses". Paying someone to stop people using it is new. Do you think the major has a plan involving this now-deserted beach?
We liked the Sardonic and Alcoholic gulfs, as we called them. We renamed Methana 'Mordor' because it was always covered in forboding dark cloud.
