We have now moved campsite again to Glifa and Camping Ionion beach a superb ACSI site with a wonderful swimming pool and lovely flowers.
On route to Chelmoutsi castle we decide to go to Kotichiou lagoon for a bit of bird spotting.
We drove down what really was not a road but a farm track complete with tractors whose drivers looked at us with some disbelief.
We did however catch a Little owl in full sunlight, I don't know who was the most surprised.
Around the lagoon, any guesses ?
In the distance from the bird hide a group of Flamingo's an a few Pelicans.
Chelmoutsi castle.
1219 to 1223 AD
The most famous Frankish castle in Greece.
Its other name is Casteltornesi after a coin that was minted here.
The hexhagonal keep has huge vaulted halls.
Some of which have been restored like this curved section.
This is one that needs a little bit of work yet.
