Vacation in Greece

This last summer I took a trip to Greece. A lengthy fifteen-hour flight turned into a never-ending three-day flight due to many delays. Flight after flight we eventually got to Greece and took a ferry to Mykonos Island to spend a few days there. I spent a day touring old fashioned windmills and spent the rest of the time on the beach. I suggest you spend a lot of time at the beach because the water is absolutely beautiful, it is crystal clear and worth a trip to witness bright blue ocean water to capture with your own eyes.

Within a few days I got back on the ferry and rode to Santorini which was our next island stop. In Santorini I did a lot of shopping and visited the Red Beach which is left over lava from an exploding volcano, and also visited the Black sand beach. The Greek islands are known for their sunsets, people will sit for hours and just watch the sun set. On any island in Greece a lot of people walk everywhere to get around to places unless they rent a scooter or ATV. There is also not a ton of elevators so I walked up about six flights of stairs just to get to my hotel.

After a few days in Santorini we took a seven-hour ferry ride to Athens where we ended our trip by going to the Acropolis. It was very interesting and factual, if you take a tour like I did. The town of Athens is very surprising. There was a lot of graffiti on old buildings and traffic is always crazy. I spent multiple hours out of each day walking up and down streets just shopping. A lot of the stores on the island have a lot of the same product, but it’s still interesting to look at.
