Not as in dying (though I suppose we must all, one day).
Just a list of ‘must do’ things.
As I’m going in my own in September/October, I can come and go as I please, and it’ll only cost me a quarter of what it would with SWMBO and the bins in tow.
So, I must get round to visiting the Bourtzi.
Want to go to Kastro.
Never visited Evangelistria.
Sunset on Agia Eleni.
Anything I’ve missed?

Surely it would only involve singing soprano?

Have you done the Skopelos/Alonissos trip? It’s on my list, but Paul is allergic to boats 🚣♀️

No, nor the Mamma Mia trip.

Okay, regarding the sunset on Agia Eleni.
A quick look at the map shows why this is popular, as it's western-facing, with nothing in the way until the mainland.
However, in 2017 when we stayed at the Palace we went to the White View restaurant, which is basically right on the very top of the hotel, mainly facing west.
It's high enough that you can see over the Xenia/Banana Peninsula, so I'm not sure there'd be any benefit.

I didn’t take it. :-)
But yes, lovely.
There a fly in the ointment, though. Sunset in late September is 7:00pm, and the White View doesn’t open until 8:00.

They might have different opening times, like the buses. Or you could start queuing early for a table and get a sneaky photo.

I thoroughly intend to but a Mythos downstairs and see if I can pop up.

A possible for MY bucket list - find my way up to the clock tower (I think I saw a start of route a week or so ago) - preferably this September to look at the webcam (actually, stick my ugly mug in a position where it is just about visible on the camera).
One problem - my realisation that finding the way up involves a lot of steps and I don't think either of us will be keen to do that!

I had lunch at the Bourtzi the other day.
I did the sunset at Agia Eleni last night -very nice.
The White View is now closed for the season. Still hoping to sneak up with a Mythos.
4x4 excursion booked for Thursday, taking in the monastery and Kastro.
