Kapetan Theofilos: The only tavern of Agios Ioannis

When it is time to leave Gavdos
into-thin-air Says: When it is time for you to leave Gavdos If you think that the weather is a bit unsettled then it is worthwhile ringing the harbour police at Paleochora to check to see it the ferry has left -- it is due to leave at 08.30 so if you ring after 09.00 you will know that it is /...
Gavdos -- More churches than people !!!
into-thin-air Says: It is said that there are more churches on Gavdos than there are people ---- maybe not so hard to believe when you consider that the Island's population is only 40 !!!!This little church is Agia Georgios, just behind Korfu beach.
Old farm-house is just behind Korfu beach
into-thin-air Says: This Old farm-house is just behind Korfu beach-- it was originally the home of Georgios who know has Georgios and Maria's Taverna -- it is hard to believe that only 20 or 30 years ago it was still occupied !!!

into-thin-air Says: If you could find a good map / guide book on Gavdos then it would be worthwhile ( Helga had one fairly good guide-book on Crete that had a section on Gavdos but it is only available in German ) !! I have added a map here to give you an idea of the Island !!
into-thin-air Says: Everything comes by ferry to Gavdos -- when we were there the only shop was closed so bring everything that you will need -- we were camping so we brought nearly all our food with us, don't forget to bring plenty of fuel for your stove too -- we ran out but managed to buy...

into-thin-air Says: Korfu beach is a good choice of somewhere to go / stay -- we camped but there are also rooms available at Georgios and Maria's Taverna.
into-thin-air Says: Just north of Gavdos is the tiny island of Gavdopoula, you will get a good view of it as the ferry passes, This island is uninhabited but if you could get a ride across with a fisherman then I think it would be worth exploring !!!
into-thin-air Says: Another nice walk is to Sarakiniko beach -- this is the Islands main resort !!!! said to be the best beach on the island and there are rooms to let here and a couple of Taverna's and the island's only shop ---- There was only one taverna open when we were here and the shop...
AndyRG Says: By the... taxi you saw at the previous photo, you finally arrive -after a few kilometres- to Korfos, one of the five villages of the island. (Villages in Gavdos are rather places with 4-5 houses...). The best one is Sarakiniko, on the other side, the beach there is really...
AndyRG Says: Three-four buildings and a place for the... parking of the small ferries constitute the port of Gavdos. You can see the only bus of the island and the... taxi (this tractor!) to Korfos, another small village. About fifty inhabitants live in this southern point of Europe.
