On Monday We Get an Extra Boat Ride To the Beautiful Greek Town of Itea

For the first time on our Adriatic Explorer Cruise we stopped at a town with no deep port at which to dock.  Therefore our lifeboats (tenders) were used  to shuttle us to and from the town as our ship was anchored out in the bay.  Above you see one tender coming and one going to Itea.

Here is what a tender looks like up close.

This is the inside of our tender.  Note the driver up above the passengers.

The weather was sunny and warm and we found this Greek Orthodox Church that was rather ornate.

Itea, Greece was laid back and the people were friendly.  It is near the Delphi Archaeological Site but we did not take the excursion trip to climb up the mountain to see it.  These white rocks in this town planter were unique.

The citrus trees and plants around the small town were impressive.  

Bill found this Greek Restaurant and liked the name.  The owner could speak English and came out to talk to us.  The town was really fun to visit and we found it hard to go back to the ship until we saw as many sites as we could.

Here is the local scooter repair garage.

After lunch we returned back to our anchored ship.  The water here was very clear and we hit a terrific day to visit an outstanding little town.
