Agi Anna, Greece

There are beaches all along the coast line of this island. We stayed in Agi Anna and never regretted it for a moment. Beautiful sandy beaches just steps from the sea. We woke every morning to the sound of the sea hitting the shore.
 Paradise.




It was difficult the first few days to unwind, slow down and relax. But it didn't take long. This is a pic of me snorkeling.


A brief walk to a pier and a walk onto the rocks was amazing.

 





 Local food was in abundance, very rich and delicious. A traditional Greek Salad or Moussaka?



You never know who is going to serenade you at your table


Or there is always a market in walking distance.


If you're thinking of visiting Naxos, I would definitely recommend accomodations at Castello Studios.


Many a scrabble game were played on these tables in the evenings.


And I'll never forget the evening sunset and aromas.

 


Travel in Hydra

I'm leaving tomorrow for my trip to Greece. Thought I would show a few photos of the island Hydra. This is a non-motorized island,  The mules have been reserved to carry our luggage to our accommodations.

Hydra is one of  the Saronic islands, closest to Athens. The first week we'll be in the Cyclades.

The view from our rooms.


...and a view of town



When I return, I'm sure I'll have wonderful photos to share with you.

Only 7 more days...


A week from today will start my journey. I've never traveled overseas, but it's been on my bucket list.
Myself, and two girlfriends are spending 15 days in the Greek Islands. We'll be spending 7 nights on Naxos, 4 nights on Hydra, and the last few days in Athens. We're planning to do a little island hopping while we're there.


For me, it's a trip of a lifetime.
This is where I'll be staying the first week. Right on the Aegean Sea.
