End of the season

The charter fleets and flotillas are no longer underway and are crowding harbors and anchorages. The parasols and sun loungers on the beaches are packed up. More and more tavernas are closing. Those that are still open only serve a few dishes from the usually extensive menu. And there is no more draught beer. It's the end of October: the end of the season.

On the one hand, those who are working in gastronomy and tourism will be glad that the stressful time is over for this year. The young people who have helped out in their family businesses during this time usually have a second or even third job in winter. Or they can finally get back to their studies. This is what the son of a tavern owner, who also has a floating dock for boats and runs a small supermarket, told us. One thing is clear: business has to be booming during the season so that the money earned lasts the whole year. 

We still have a few days left. In the harbor of the small, beautiful island of Kalamos, we are moored right next to the fishermen and enjoy the peace and quiet, wandering around the island and gradually preparing to bring our boat ashore at the end of the month. Then it's the end of the season for us too.
