After an exhausting two weeks of non-stop activities and service, most of us were ready to catch up on some rest and relax. Our off- week started this past Saturday. While some of our group decided to spend the first part of off- week going on the adventure of climbing Mount Olympus, the rest of us decided to spend our days lounging on a few of the nearby beaches. Yesterday, Beth Ann took a group of us to Cape Sounion to see the temple of Poseidon. I can’t even begin to describe how gorgeous the sight was on the top of the mountain overlooking the sea. We spent a while at the temple taking pictures before we headed back down the mountain to a private beach. We snagged several lounge chairs and spent the rest of the day relaxing and sunbathing. We caught the bus back to Glyfada and stopped in town for dinner before heading back to the hotel for the night.
Today, a group of us took a trip to one of the private beaches here in Glyfada. After a few of our beach trips were cancelled due to weather, we were finally able to spend a beautiful, sunny day at the private beach. After a quick tram ride, we spent most of the day at the beach reading or napping. After getting some sun, we headed back into town to do some shopping and get dinner. We finally found the two-story grocery store this afternoon! We stopped to get some groceries and snacks for our trip to the island of Andros.
We’re leaving tomorrow at 5:15am to catch cabs to the port in Athens and then get on the ferry to Andros. I am so excited to visit this quaint island and spend a few more days at the beach before bungee jumping in Corinth on Friday!
