A wide harbor with many buildings and with a long pier curled around in front; in the distance are mountains topped by clouds

A giant chessboard (but no pieces) and a yellow, wooden sign that says "Bus timetables" with a blank board under it

Practice your #chess (or #checkers) by the harbor in #AgiosKirykos, but don't expect a bus anytime soon. #Ikaria

A narrow pedestrian street with single-story business on both sides, with white walls

A white poster on a post with words in fiery colors calling on people to strike in three places on 1 May

I was lucky that the general Labor Day strike didn't affect my departure...but maybe the USA needs some good-old-fashioned posters to rally people against the execrable leadership. #AgiosKirykos #Ikaria

A street composed of stairs next to the blue doors of a rustic-looking little restaurant, with a white-and-black cat on the shelf outside

Three shelves of different sweets, most of them made of filo and covered in sweet syrup, some with white sugar

Around a dozen clay oil lamps about the size of a harmonica

Giant clay jugs caked in dirt in a museum display

#Amphorae for trading in the last few centuries BC and the first few AD. Emirates will let me bring some Ikarian wine home in one of these, right? #Ikaria #AgiosKirykos

A first glimpse of #AgiosKirykos as I nearly complete this walk. #Ikaria #abcwalks

Red arrows on a post showing to go right for Agios Kirykos and left, down stairs, to Therma

The walking path between #Therma and #AgiosKirykos is well-marked, though it's all on streets (and one staircase). #Ikaria #abcwalks

A paved road with no cars or houses, with a rocky beach on one side and some undecipherable graffiti on the guard wall

The end of #AgiosKirykos, with the ubiquitous graffiti. #Ikaria #abcwalks

I'm raising a glass of wine at a restaurant near a row of tamarisk trees

A 1 a.m. harborside dinner. Yamas! #Ikaria #AgiosKirykos
