Greece has been a hell of a ride. I was only 3 or 4 days in total in Athens. I went to 3 different places, had a lot to eat, had a lot of fun, so I thought I should share!
For Easter my family and I drove to my village to visit my grandparent. It's a nice little village in the very north of Greece. Only a few people live there in the winter...I think about 300! I love going there since I was I can't even remember. It is very relaxing if you want a break from life. It was so nice to see my grandparents again. I had a really good time.
After this short trip we took the plain to Crete, a bid Greek island in the south of Greece. We stayed nearby a city called Heraklion. I did a lot of sunbathing as you can see on my instagram account! ;) We had good weather and a nice location. I also visited a big aquarium in the area, which was a first to me! I'd never been in an aquarium like that. It was very interesting. Then we flew back to Athens, stayed for a day and started the next day for a new destination.
We drove to an island 2 hours from Athens...yes we drove! It is really cool because it is near to a coast, so you can drive there and then just take a ferry for 2 minutes that takes you directly to the island opposite the coast. My other grandparents live there, so I enjoy visiting them every year. But I think this island is a perfect destination for tourists, who want to go obviously on an Greek island, but also want to see a little bit of Athens. You can combine both in just few days. Imagine we stayed there for 24 hours. We went to eat...twice and had a lovely day at the beach :)
Now I'm back in Athens and tomorrow is my flight to Vienna. I had a really good time in Greece and I'll miss it as soon as I'm on the plain and flying over it. :)
