Sailing the high seas of Greece
Well, not exactly sailing, but the Greek shirt and Greek beer set the mood!Coming towards the end of my time here in Greece, I had to take everyone's advice and visit the islands. I am very glad I did, for this place was beautiful! A key piece of advice though, buy your boat tickets early. I wanted to see some of the more famous islands of Greece, but alas, all tickets were sold out. However, there is a very easy access island by ferry only 45 minutes one way, Aegina. The island was great and really gave me a different view of Greece besides the major city of Athens.
The ferry ride was pleasant enough, and going through the Mediterranean was really nice. Once I arrived, I have now come to find another place that if offered a job, I just may take it on the spot. Thus far, that list includes Hawaii, Paris and now the Greek islands. I am sure as I see more places, this list will grow. Be forewarned though, in a beautiful tropical place, if I get a job, it may be the last entry everyone sees.
On the island, there were some neat shops and some really good food. Soon after I had a meal I
decided to rent a bike and ride along the coast. They used to rent motorcycles, but I am sad to say they stopped before my arrival. The bicycle ride was great though. All along I saw houses that would lead to an easy to live life. The island was definitely set a part from the major hustle and bustle of the city. It was much more laid back, and I really had some time to sit and enjoy the sea.
The highlight for me was seeing people sailing around the beach. All I could think was wow, that's where I have to get next. I suppose coming form the mountains, I am simply fascinated by the sea. I'm not sure who wouldn't be though when they are drinking a beer and enjoying the sun on the beach.
At the end of the day, I had to catch the ferry back. After I got back to my hostel and packed, I prepared for an early morning flight back to the US. This will be my last entry until I return back to Dubai. On my way back to Dubai I will be stopping by Spain for a week. Hopefully
I'll have some more stories and pictures to share soon enough!
