Friday's Cycle to Plataria by jamibann

Friday's Cycle to Plataria

The weather forecast was bad on Friday, so it was not advised to go far on the bikes as apparently the roads get very slippy when it's wet. So, our guides took us up over the hill to Plataria, where we cycled around the port and came back home over the hill. A short ride, but a hilly one! The weather was still looking good at this stage, but it did change throughout the day. Taken with my i-phone.
Lovely shot of this beautiful scene. Good that you had a guide with you ;-)

An interesting shot with lots to see in different areas! What does "Plataria' man, though?

@maggiemae Let's all take a guess! I was thinking, "restaurant"...alluding to a nicely plated presentation! However, there was no mention of food in Issi's caption...
...and Issi, what I do find interesting is that this huge, expensive sign has a hashtag...they want to answer everyone's question!

Glad the weather didn't interfere too much.

Nicely illustrated, a clear sign against the blue sky.

@maggiemae @Weezilou Well, there are a few of these around, and it's just the name of the town. I think they want visitors to take pictures with the sign and hashtag, and post it on instagram or Facebook in order to advertise the place. There was one on the seafront in Syvota as well. Seemingly people either love them or hate them.

@Weezilou she must be in Greece!! Plataria is a coastal village and resort in Thesprotia, Epirus region, Greece!

@maggiemae Yes I was! Sorry, didn't intend to be vague. We were there for a week's holiday - in Syvota, but we cycled to Plataria, just along the coast. It was a lovely week away, but back home now! @Weezilou

@jamibann Welcome back home, Issi! Clearly you had a glorious vacation, and I love doing additional traveling vicariously with others! Thanks for the clarification you gave @maggiemae and me!

There are signs like these in rest areas along our major highways- usually at the closet one to a state border. They're very popular now for all those selfie-takers.
