LitsianaDoesLarissa


Dear Diary,

I had a fabulous 4 night stay in Larissa at my friend`s, Xenia.
Last time I saw her was in Corfu; when I last saw the beach as well, lol.
I had missed the sea so much...
I went to Larissa on Thursday evening.
On Friday, we went to the beach, Agiokampos.
The area was empty but, I didn`t care at all. I just wanted to be in my bikini, enjoying my iced tea and catching up with my bestie!
After beaching, we went for a delicious lunch to the most beautifully designed tavern I`ve ever been.
That night, we had a cocktail on a nice rooftop bar called 'Skyfall'.
Volos was waiting for us next afternoon. Volos is another city close to Larissa. .It`s a miniature of Thessaloniki to me!
I love Volos and it`d been ages since I last been there. Must go back there asap..
On Sunday, we went to Velika and up on the mountains where
the view was amazing and you could secretly smell autumn coming...
The weather was warm but moody. We had bbq and we ate so much that we were about to explode.
In the late evening, we headed for the train station so as me going back to Thessaloniki.



























Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself!
Good night, travellers!

LitsianaDoesCorfu

Dear Diary,

New month, new season but it`s still summer in my heart and not only there, lol!
It`s so damn hot here in Greece.
About two weeks ago, I went on vacations. I spent 5 amazing days on an island, Corfu.
I went there with Xenia who I`d not seen since our trip to Berlin at Easter.
Xenia had already been to Corfu so she knew where to go, what to eat and what the highlights are. I had the best guide I could ask for!


Day1 
Part of day 1 was spent driving from Thessaloniki to Igoumenitsa (3,5h) and taking the boat from there so as to reach Corfu (1,5h). Then we had to head to the south, to Benitses where our hotel was.
We got ready and went to Corfu to get ourself lost in Kantounia; tiny, picturesque streets filled with people strolling around, cute small local shops and places where traditional cuisine is served.  









Day2
It`s high time we hit the beach! 
Canal d`Amour for the win and someone to pinch me coz certainly I`m dreaming...
So beautiful a place that the camera couldn`t grasp its beauty....
grrrrr!
I have so many mental pics that I wish I could print them off...









Day3
The place that I fell in love with was in Paleokastritsa, La Grotta.
When rocks and the sea meet, people stand in awe.
We took a ship and went to an opposite bay called Limni. 
Virgin places that look like mankind has never stood its feet on...












Day4
After having breakfast in the town we headed north to Avlaki beach. 
One word to describe the scenery: Endless Blue...









Day5
We left for the very end the famous Pontikonisi.





Don`t forget that travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer....
Good night, travellers!
