Buggies of Death

Today we hired two beach buggies ("Bug Riders" - 250cc), with the plan being to do some sightseeing and find a nice beach. I have to say, these are not really road-worthy over 5km/hr, and pretty scary on the bumpy edges of main roads with cars whizzing by (who needs helmets, or seat belts for that matter). But, intrepid as ever, we headed out of town to the Asclepion (everywhere has one it seems), and then to Tigaki to have lunch and swim at a sandy beach. The restaurant was pretty good (Ifestos), and well located on the road running by the beach which was well serviced by boardwalks, banana lounges and umbrellas. Found a nice place for a swim and the water was quite warm, but a bit dirty from sand. The wind was strong, and there were some waves, and we could see Turkey in the distance.
