Greece Adventures Day 2

So we are in the airport, enjoying some free wifi waiting for our flight to Frankfurt. All up in the air (get it, hehe) from there!

Also, as much as I will miss Prague and Europe, I feel at this point like I am ready to be home. Its time.

Day 2 – Thesselonia

We spent most of the day exploring the city on foot. It is relatively small, so we were able to do a lot by walking.

We first wanted to access the water so from the train station (where we purchased our tickets to Athens), we walked toward the coast, unfortunately for us, there were some other train tracks; therefore, we could not cross the street. We finally managed after a while, and the water was beautiful! We climbed up a tower, which had a museum inside and gave us a great view from the city.

From there we took the scenic route back to our hotel – seeing some cubist globe and an ancient arch along the way. We rested for a while at our hotel, and did some research on beaches in Thesselonia.

We took the bus to the beach, and though you couldn’t swim in it, we still enjoyed it very much. We relaxed, read, watched the sunset, had a small dinner – all wonderful.

Also, we found it very easy to get around despite my initial concerns. Fortunately, our hotel was off a main street and easy to find, but even managing the busses, we felt very comfortable getting around.








This was our bathroom in the hotel. It was tiny, and I had to quickly swallow the fact
that I hate when everything in the bathroom gets wet after a shower.
