We just returned from our vacation in Greece, which further confirmed my love for this country - I love the sea, the food and the sun there and the laid back atmosphere at the seaside always charges my batteries, at least for a while :)
We chose a comfortable accommodation right on the shore in one of the Greek villages on Halkidiki.
The fact, that we were practically on the beach, allowed us to have a very flexible individual program. I love to wake up early and to have long walks, which I did, while the boys still relaxed in bed. One morning I woke early enough to welcome the sunrise at the beach. Every morning I was able to have my coffee on the beach, I ran on the sand early in the morning and cooled in the quiet waters of the sea, it was bliss.
In the evenings husband and I went for walks around the shore
or enjoyed a cold beer on one of the terraces, facing the sea.

We also explored two interesting beaches not far from us. The red rocks of Metamorphosis on Sitonia was an amazing place with stunning red rocks, green Mediterranean pines and little coves. We found a perfect place under a big pine tree, providing natural shade and spent a glorious afternoon there, swimming, diving and basking in the sun.
Another interesting and very different beach was Agios Mamas near Kassandra. It was a wild long sand strand, with lots of seagulls, sand lilies and very hippie vibe, I loved it!
On our way back we visited the Petralona cave - one of the most richly decorated with stalagmite formations caves that I have seen, and I have seen plenty of caves in Bulgaria; definitely worth the little detour from the route.
We are so happy with our Greek vacation, can't wait to return to the sea next year.
