Place: Stratos Apartments in Paros, Greece
Greece hasn’t greeted us with hot sunshine only days and instead of reaching for the sunblock and bikini, we have used the overcast conditions to our advantage and roamed the streets of these adorable little islands. Ducking in and out of small, narrow alleys and finding tiny cafés tucked into corners.
Craig and I feel as though we have fully thrown ourselves into the Greek mentality and adapted incredibly well to the lifestyle…late mornings, late nights and of course, the afternoon naps. Not to mention the staple of Haloumi Cheese, eggplant, bread, yoghurt and tea.
Tea…aaah I have had such a great time with the Tetleys tea bags and I felt that I had to share this awesome little treasure of a teabag with you.
First: As normal, pour hot water into your cup
Second: Allow the teabag to draw the beautiful flavours into the cup
Finally: Tear the tag, and pull in opposite directions for that final infusion of flavor
Amazing isn’t it J
Anyways, today marks our 2nd day and final day in Paros, as tomorrow we are making our way to the big city of Athens.
Again, this morning we woke up to overcast skies, but that suits us perfectly as our plan was to rent a car and circumnavigate the 50km island.
Bags packed with a picnic of tzatziki, feta, bread, chips and fruit then we quickly made our way to the harbour to buy ferry tickets for tomorrows journey to Athens and sussed out the rent-a-cars for the best deal.
Eventually we found a deal and were taken to our ‘burnt’ orange carriage, which would take us (keeping on the right side of the road) to all little coves, bays and gems on the wonderful island of Paros.
Around every corner, we would stop and admire the beauty, then rush back to the car to gaze at the beige wild vegetation along the ‘midnight blue’ waters catching a pop of pink, yellow, orange and green from the various flowers in-between.
Today was by far the most amazing day that we have had in Greece so far, making it difficult to leave the island for the mainland, but excited for the sites of ancient Athens.
Right now we are sitting on our balcony, loving the imminent sunset. Craig with his Amstel and myself with my glorious cup of tea and listening to our favourite radio station which we are streaming online…check out jazzradio.com. You can choose whether you would like a little Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, instrumental or smooth blues, even a mix of it all.
What an amazing way to finish the day J
