Probably the best (and physically hardest) day of my holiday was when we rented a quad and drove across and up the mountains of Kos.
Okay, this post may be filled with stereotypical panorama shots showing the landscape and view from a bit higher above, but the pic below gives (another) honest representation of the terrain. Very hot and dry, sand blowing everywhere. Still really beautiful and exotic for a person from the North!
The next pics were actually taken from a smaller town called Kefalos where we stopped to have some cool (non-alcoholic) drinks and a light lunch.
Notice the small cactuses planted to line the edge of the cliff. On the background you can see the winding road that we came from.
A part of the town of Kefalos; on the right side the small taverna where we had lunch.
Another reminder for this pro why pics usually tend to look better when the sun is behind you. I promise, I’m going to get this some day!
Luckily my friend promised to give me some photography lessons in Liverpool next month – so stay tuned for the announcement of my upcoming trip which hopefully will result in at least some upgrades in my photography skills…
I have to admit being a little bit scared when we were driving down that road when returning back to Tigaki at the end of the day… I may not be an expert, but I’d argue that quads are probably very handy and safe when driving upwards in steep hills.
Unfortunately, for making steep turns while driving downwards of a steep hill and trying to give way to the coming traffic… I think that a scooter would’ve been a little bit more a safer option.
This is pretty much where our small (and hot!) road trip ended: a beautiful beach that has a name that I’m unfortunately not able to recall. After this point we headed back to Tigaki while enjoying the last bits of the windy but refreshing quad ride!
Yours,
