Anybody staying in Kefalos will know that the walk up or
down to the village is a major feat. Early morning and evening are manageable
if you are not used to walking, but in the heat of the day an absolute no no
for me. There is a train and a bus if you are prepared to wait a bit. But it is
the only place in the world where I feel safe to pick up hitchhikers for a lift
up to or down from the village.
It’s such fun returning old Greek ladies back up to
the village after a swim and bringing another down to start work in the
supermarket .They don’t speak much English, but with enough gestures and a
little understanding on my part for left, right and straight on we manage. The
language of Hitchhiking is universal. Would I pick someone up in the UK? I
doubt it, but then I don’t see many OAP’s standing on street corners with their beach towels.
