that's just it George, it's very probably, virtually the same as it was when I left it.if I remember correctly the boat only ran in the summer. Most visitors would rather lie on the beach than spend time on a dilapidated boat chugging over to Gavdos.there Were three other people on the boat with me, I don't think they ever had to contend with hordes of tourists arriving. There was nobody else on the beach when I was there, in fact a bit like Plakias when I first arrived. As I said imagine Plakias with only the fishermen and if that's your idea of heaven, then it's a place for you. Go on and do something different this year, you might even enjoy it.
