I Lunghissimi Giorni

It is hot here.  Very hot.  Everything closes from 1-4 because no one in their right mind would be walking around, so we spend our afternoons listening to music, napping, eating lots of fruit, and wishing we were back in Gallipoli...

The name comes from the Greek for "beautiful city," and it's full of fresh seafood, ornate churches, and the remains of ancient underground olive oil presses. 

 

And, of course, beautiful views. As yesterday was a national holiday, Ferragosto, we were treated to a fireworks show after sunset, which we watched while swimming in the Ionian Sea.
