Day 9: Hotoussa, Greece

Village House, Hotoussa

31 December 2025

New Year's Eve! We woke up to grey skies, fed the cats (plus a couple of the dogs) and headed out to do some jobs in Tripoli. I am getting to know the road between the village and Tripoli very well!

We had our usual breakfast along the way of Greek coffee and tiropites, and then had a cup of tea and a hot chocolate at a cafe in Tripoli.

On the way home, we stopped at a restaurant in Levithi, which has what Jim calls 'the best pork souvlaki in Greece'. We had 4 pork souvlaki, some chips, some eggplant dip and pickled wild onions, along with toasted bread and water. Simple - but delicious.

We came home to the house and, as it was raining by now, we sat inside with the heater on and did a 500 piece puzzle of the Grand Canyon which we'd bought in Tripoli. A nice relaxing way to spend the afternoon.

For dinner, we cooked the rest of the sausages we'd bought yesterday, and had them with cheese, olives, tomatoes and a glass of white wine. 

A quiet but enjoyable day.
