Koroni from Above

Back in lovely quiet Koroni now after our 6 weeks of travelling. The town seems subdued now that most of the tourists have left, but unlike a lot of Greek seaside or island towns which virtually close down in winter, Koroni still has a buzz about it. 

Right now the streets and shops are adorned with masses of brightly coloured blue and white flags hanging in readiness for Oxi Day ('No' Day) on 28th October. At the start of the Second World War, Mussolini delivered an ultimatum to the Greek Prime Minister, demanding that Greece allow Italian troops to occupy the country, or Italy would declare war and invade. He replied with a simple Greek word: Oxi! - (NO!). Something definitely worth commemorating and I'm sure the country will do it justice on Thursday.
