Day 28 - Friday 31 May - Athens to Corinth

Friday 31 May

We packed up and at the station activated our Eurail passes before catching the 10:36 outer-urban train to Corinth.   We taxied to our bnb, a semi-underground studio, settled and walked 50m to the supermarket on the corner (named Sklavenitis).

We were warned in the host's notes that many shops open 9:00-14:00,  then may open 16:00-19:00 at the end of the week.  So after lunch we had a siesta, the at 16:00 went walking to find a tourist office for advice.  The whole city was like a rural town on a Sunday - dead as dead. We walked to the waterfront which was pleasant, but so quiet. The only  people about were groups of tourists, no doubt wondering 'where is everyone?'.  We found the bus station, but the information we got to help plan the next couple of days was hard to understand, so I think we'll just stick with taxis for this town.

So we went back home, re-planned our weekend, and caught up on news.
