Seagoing Felines

Yes, I'm a member of their fan club. Would they pose for me otherwise?

Avythos Beach is more than place, it's a state of being. Strangely enough, it is not my favorite beach for swimming though it is absolutely gorgeous in the summer. The swimmer in me seems to have bonded over the years with the pebbles of Skala.

That aside, Avythos is my favorite year-round escape; it is  so incredibly dependable.
Now, that is a strange word to use in describing a place that is different every time, but let me explain.

It is dependable in that it will never disappoint you: be it with crashing or gentle waves; in sunshine or storm; with flawless sand or the occasional pebbles; with a spotless ceiling or overcast skies.

And, of course, on days when the northwestern wind rules, Avythos becomes a huge canvas for the "god among winds" to have a field day painting it in all shades of blue.
Blue in tiers and strips, in blotches and swirls.

And offshore, Dias Islet serves as a pivot point around which colors and shapes are formed.

But the most dependable and adorable given on Avythos are the cats that actually live there year-round. They are well-fed by beach regulars and are true extroverts.
They'll nudge and cajole, in the most imaginative ways, till they turn you into a regular meal provider.

 I know because I've become a subscriber to their charm!

Avythos beauty, in the landscape and on four legs!

Cats rule... any objections?
