My new favourite colour.....

....is Ionian blue.  It's the brightest of bright blues.  The water colour at Kathisma Beach is unbelievable.  Curiously though, as sparkling as it is there is no visibility - put your mask underwater and it's dense blue, that's all. You cannot see anything else except blue. It's like swimming in cyan.

Today we hired a bike (is that what it's called?) and toured aound the length and breadth of the island, stopping for a few hours at Kathisma beach.  I have never swum in water this colour. 

Swimming in cyan


The beach cafe offers use of a swimming pool, just in case
you can't bear to be out of water for too long I guess!

Our fun transport for the day.
And an old Ionian windmill.
(don't shudder Michael - all's well that ends well)

Lefkada honey boxes


Beautiful Ionian Sea, beautiful Kathisma beach
In the hills of Lefkada every village has at least one honey stall
