Part of Greece. I - Arrival

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Travel to Greece lasted two hours with a small hook. At the bottom you could see clusters of lights. Or clouds and lightning.
Time shift forward. After leaving the airport and Thessaloniki struck us wet and hot air. How sustainable travel by coach to the hotel - I do not remember. We got exhausted and semi-conscious. We got keys in hand and further into the room. A moment of consternation - if only for the cover sheet - but padliśmy and nakryliśmy the thin material. More strictly it was not needed and even it would be torture. We came to the sounds of passing cars, megaphone carpet sellers. Later, these sounds did not impress upon us that morning ... but not enough that night's sleep is not noise, that's the most uncomfortable bed in my life. But the uncomfortable beds in Greece had already heard from Wayne Tanya. Did not mean, however, that not woke up without pain in the shoulder ...

Quick shower and look for the shop - in tourism, just behind the hotel, they did not have wholemeal bread. Actually, there is too much did not have to eat. We went out onto the main road and found a local super market. Obkupieni returned to the room a bit small. Then the second exit in search of an ATM - klucząc streets, admiring the palm trees and groping a small church, we got the money.
Pefkochori Mieścin is a small, long and narrow, located on Kasandrze. A typical tourist. It's so ... Władysławowo version of the Mediterranean, with an admixture of foreigners. So let's say almost half and half, but rather superiority of the Greeks. It lacks the big hotel complexes. But the small hotels, guest rooms and suites. Actually, you can go there in the dark - definitely a place to be found. Plenty of tavernas and souvenir shops. More or less shoddy. I knew that my hat is needed, so I went for so long, until I found some where a fashion look. For the complete range of : P
We came to the beach, a narrow, granular, clean and heated to the limits. It was stuffy, the air though, meant little resistance. It was the fifteenth, closed shutters, awnings stretched - life is like przycichło - siesta. We returned to the room and fell asleep.

We got up just because they had arranged a meeting with the resident.
We got there, we heard a few statements about the Peninsula Chalcydyckim / Chalkidiki / Halkidiki / Χαλκιδική / Chalcidice - that on the north coast of the Aegean Sea, the south-east of the city of Thessaloniki and it ends with three smaller peninsulas Kassandra, Sithonia and Athos. We heard about the opportunities to buy trips, where what and how - and well after the timid protests that kolacjo-dinner is waiting for some hotels, you rush over and we released with taverns acquainted. In fact Petridis meal waiting. Quick decide what we want to see, and back to the office to order the tour: to Meteora, cruise on the Bay and Cave Toronejskiej Petralona. We wanted to Athens, but the resident agent resigned from this position because of the importance of the distance. We were able to still see the sunset, which lasted really long. The next day we waited for a trip to Meteora, so there we have investigated thoroughly the night life ... no problem falling asleep.
