Another Relaxed Day in Agios Prokopios + Haircut Failure

We thought we should at least start our lazy, relaxing day with a walk. We headed out behind the salt ponds to the housing area at the far end of Agios Prokopios Beach. It was mainly hotels and apartments, some quite flash-looking, plus a few half-built and abandoned apartment buildings. Obviously, some money had been wasted and lost on those.

The area was good for a walk, as the roads aren’t used by many people. Very quiet. We eventually found our way down to the end of the beach and walked along the shoreline back. It was only 8:30 a.m. but already warm enough for our first swim of the day.

Back at the apartment, I watched the Warriors lose their finals match and get knocked out of the comp. Not surprising against Penrith. At least they kept it close until about 15 minutes to go, then the score blew out a bit.

A pre-lunch walk to the supermarket was the only other reason to leave the apartment, until I realised tomorrow was Sunday and the barber shop would be closed. I had seen a barber on Google Maps that looked like a good place for a haircut. I’d put off getting one in Krakow and Santorini because they were too expensive. Prices here looked reasonable. Their website said I needed to book, so I made an appointment for 5 p.m. today.

We had time for another beach swim before I had to get to the bus. The water seemed colder this afternoon maybe because the wind was up. The stop at the pool on the way back was much warmer.

I went out to catch the 4 p.m. bus to Chora, but it was full and didn’t stop. The next bus at 4:30 was the same result! ☹️ Bugger. Walked back to the apartment sans haircut.

Dinner tonight was toasted ham and cheese sandwiches. Not as good as we’d make at home, but tasty enough.
