Boris Johnson looked stubbly and dishevelled as he stopped for a snap with locals during his second holiday of the Summer.
The Sunday Mirror revealed last week that the jet setting PM had flown to Greece just days after returning from a relaxing break at a Slovenian spa.
He and his family have been staying near Karystos, in the south of Evia – the second largest Greek island.
Earlier this week he was spotted at a local restaurant, reportedly giving a 50 Euro tip and telling Ukrainian waiting staff the UK would continue to support their country.
On Thursday it emerged the ousted PM had met with local celebrity and music producer Costas Milonas.
In an Instagram post, Mr Milonas said the pair were “simple men, drinking our ouzos.”

And today another local, Panagiotis Karathanasis, posted a picture with Mr Johnson, who was giving a thumbs-up to the camera.
Mr Karathanasis wrote: “Today with our friend Boris Johnson!”
On Monday, as Brits learned the real value of workers’ pay was falling at the fastest rate for 20 years, Mr Johnson was snapped topless at a secluded cove on Evia in black swim shorts.
One observer said the PM looked “chilled” as he read a book while two-year-old son Wilf paddled.

Mr Johnson and wife Carrie were seen buying groceries in the coastal town of Nea Makri, to the south of Evia on Saturday.
His father, Stanley owns a villa to the north of the Island, in the town of Horto.
The couple were seen shopping for groceries, filling up two baskets with food and bottles of wine from the fridge.
According to Greek website In, Mr and Mrs Johnson were in Nea Makri, a sun-soaked coastal town near Athens.
The PM has chosen to spend his final days as Prime Minister as far away as possible from British crises – with No10 saying he was only available for major decisions and not doing day-to-day work.
The jet-setting PM only returned from a week at a Slovenian spa last Sunday.
Just weeks ago, when he made his resignation speech outside No10, he vowed to continue to serve in the interests of the British public.
“The government of the country will be carried on,” he tweeted.
But Brits up and down the country are battling fears on how they will survive the cost of living crisis.
Labour has accused Mr Johnson of treating his final months as “one big party”.
A party spokesperson said: “On the evidence of the last few months it seems to make little difference if the prime minister is in the office or on holiday as he has continually failed to meet the challenge of the Tory cost of living crisis.
“It’s all just one big party for Boris Johnson while the country struggles to pay their bills.”
Downing Street confirmed the PM plans to do no work this week unless it’s an emergency.
His official spokesman told reporters on Monday that the PM “is on leave this week” and that he is not doing day to day work.
It is not known where the PM will be working from when he returns.
“The Prime Minister is on holiday this week,” the PM’s official spokesman said.
“As is the way with prime ministers as you know by virtue of their role they’ll obviously be kept informed on any urgent issues and make decisions particularly those (related to) national security for example.”
The couple’s Slovenian getaway saw Mr and Mrs Johnson visit a “soothing energies” mountain villa where guests dine on bear while officials predicted the worst recession since the 1990s.
The lame duck Prime Minister stayed at Vila Planinka, which urges guests to ditch their phones and laptops in rooms costing £242 to £542 a night.
Speaking outside his hotel, he declared he’d had an “absolutely wonderful time” on his “honeymoon in peace and quiet”.
It comes after Keir Starmer hit back at criticism of his holiday in Mallorca – saying: “I’m not going to apologise”.
The Labour leader had taken a break with his wife Victoria and two children on the Spanish island – returning to airwaves last Friday.
By then, Gordon Brown and the Lib Dems had both called for the price cap on energy bills to be frozen ahead of a predicted hike to £3,600 in October and £4,200 in January.
Sir Keir insisted his holiday had not got in the way of Labour’s subsequent plan being announced, as officials began drawing it up in July.
He told BBC Breakfast: “I’ve got a very important job as leader of the Labour Party, as leader of the opposition.
“But I’ve also got another job that’s really important and that is I’m a dad.
“And I’m not going to apologise for going on holiday with my wife and kids.
“It’s the first time we’ve had a real holiday for about three years.”
Labour’s leader said the delay was due to the need for his plan to be “fully costed” and “comprehensive” – and to be based on reliable forecasts, the latest of which came out last week.
