Today we went to have english breakfast at old tavern! Only 5.50, and they gave you loadsa food. Shared between 2 people and it was brunch. Afterwards we walked towards the Hanioti town beach with the clearest waters out of all the beaches we had been to. It was really nice! We got sunbeds for 10 euros, and me and JT went into the sea to swim, and try out the dinghy. It was very sunny but once you were in the water you didn’t realise it!! po went in as well and spent ages there amongst the waves which lapped gently against the beach. The sea deepened more quickly here. We saw a old ship ruin type thing too! Later dad came after returning the car, and dragged the dinghy along with mum in it. ... read more

In the morning we went down to Hanioti beach near to the resort with the dinghy to try out!! Dad was really excited hehe. We got in the dinghy and Dad dragged us about in the water. The waves were getting quite strong and the woman was warning us it was quite dangerous. It was good fun though just floating about and it must have been brill to sleep in! After a while we surfaced the beach and dad was gonna drive back to the resort and leave me on the beach while he got mummy to come. But after a while he came up and said he lost the key. We were searching everywhere for it (well, they were) and finally JT went into the sea to search the sea floor for it. I also ... read more

Today we drove to Kallithea where we picked up the car. We went to eat in a really nice comfortable cool restaurant situated opposite the beach. Ate meatballs with a glass of sweet white wine! Was nice but I think one glass of wine made my heart beat really fast. We sat for ages in the restaurant until the Sun’s ray strength decreased a bit in the evening, and went down to the beach to swim in the sea. It was a really nice beach! Me and JT were finding somewhere to change and we went up to a room in an apartment block where an old lady stayed and kinda disturbed her oops. We resorted to the toilet in the beach bar after that. The waves on the beach were quite strong. The sea floor ... read more

The first instant we stepped off the airplane in Thessaloniki, Greece was the heat and stillness of the air, and the strong shining Sun in the cloudless sky. We soon boarded a coach which took us to our resort Bella Grecia, which took us an hour ish. On the way we stopped by 2 other resorts-one with a nice tennis court, away from the sea but very modern; another which was fab-right next to the beach, the sand was very fine and the water was so clear-the Aegean Sea. The coastline scenery was pittoresque-never seen such clear blue waters before! When we arrived at BG, we met the resort owner, who was quite a big beefy man who we nicknamed ‘Greek lo’. He shook our hands and welcomed us quite warmly. Our rooms were really nice! ... read more

Európa legjobb múzeuma -2005! És valóban, az egyik legélvezetesebb múzeum, amit meglátogattam görögországi utam során. Nem túl sok, nem túl kevés és nagyon érdekesen prezentálva. Erre az utamra Alex, a spanyol történész fiú is velem jött (bár már 5-ször látta a múzeumot), jó volt vele, mert tényleg nagyon tudta már, hogy mi micsoda. A múzeum az egyetem mellett van, közel a menzához (Leoforos Stratou 2). 1994-ben nyílt meg a kiállítás, az épületet direkt erre a célra tervezték, tégla és kő kombinációjából épült, mint a hajdani várak, városfalak. 11 terem van berendezve időrendi sorrendben (a kora bizantinumtól a post-bizánci periódusig), illetve téma szerint. Nekem az első 3 terem tetszett a legjobban, mely a kora bizantinumot, a kora keresztény időszakot mutatta be (4-7. század). Az első terem a kora keresztény templomok díszítését, belsejét mutatja be. Ami a ... read more
