Γαλαξίδι and the secret habourmaster

Galaxidi, beautiful Galaxidi!

the last couple of days we spent in this beautiful little town, strolling through it´s narrow little lanes, looking at these fantastic captain´s houses, which are evidence of one of the powerful merchant fleets of the whole mediterranean that used to be situated here - and trying to escape the heat of 41°C and enormous humidity (which kept me puzzled how my brother manages to live in singapore, where it is probably not always as hot, but surely humid!)
with the water temperature reaching 27°C it was hard to find some refreshment.
as there was no busses or otherwise going up to delphi, we didn't do the cultural bit - i have to admit, that i was not too sad that the decision was made for us, since i am not quite sure if we would have survived looking at these old rocks without or brains being fried. the oracle did tell a few people of their death to arrive earlier than expected after all, didn't it?

what was really special though was being given such a warm welcome by the secret harbourmaster Gerosidgris, a lovely fellow who helps you with the lines, when you come in, takes care that there is no rubbish lying around the place, sets you up with Andreas, the owner of the mobile diesel servo if needed, and anyway, writes down all his family-member´s names with telephone number in case you would ever need some help while traveling through Greece.
he doesn't ask for money, certainly doesn't mind the odd beer or a cuppa and a bite to eat though if you  have some spare.

so if you ever go through the gulf of corinth, make sure you visit galaxidi - and shout poor
ol´Gerosidgris a coffe or two!
