Rosy’s Little Village, Agistri island, Greece

Just back from our honeymoon at Rosy's Little Village in Agistri, a family-run outfit on the edge of this small Greek island about an hour by ‘Flying Dolphin’ (see pic) from the port of Piraeus, near Athens. Sans the kids, we swam in turquoise coves, lay in the warm sun and downed much Ouzo, Amstel beer and all manner of seafood, the favourite being the island speciality of fresh, grilled octopus. Oh, and I did a good amount of sketching and painting too. The 1st one is the entrance to Rosy's. 2b pencil and watercolour on heavyweight paper.
