Greece 2015

Hi everyone!

As I’ve explained in some of my posts I have spent the last month in Greece visiting family. Today is my last day and it’s so bittersweet. I’m excited to go home and get ready to move back to school however it is so beautiful here and I never want to leave! I’ve been pretty heavy with the writing on my posts thus far so I figured today I’d just share some highlights from my trip via pictures. Enjoy!

Greece is extremely famous for it’s beautiful beaches! My first couple weeks here were very relaxed. I simply enjoyed my surroundings. A couple weeks into the trip my sister, Vissi, and my boyfriend, Bryan came to join my parents and I. Bryan brought his GoPro and we captured some cool pictures!

My sister baptized a baby boy during our trip. It was an amazing celebration!

Mt. Olympus is only about 30 minutes from our house. Here are some photos of our time there.

We even got to see a soccer game! We watched the Greek national youth team play Russia. We lost, by a lot, but we had a blast!

This summer, we visited the beautiful island of Chios for the first time.

In Chios, we visited the village of Pirgi. Here, the architecture is over 800 years old with very intricate designs. We were informed that Christopher Columbus once had a home here; it’s pictured below.

We went to Chios for the wedding of a friend. Everything was beautiful, especially the church!

On the weekends, we went out dancing.

And of course, my favorite activity of all was eating all of the delicious foods!

These are the highlights from my month in Greece. I hope to travel a lot more and continue to share my experiences. I recommend visiting this country to anyone who has the opportunity. What are some of your favorite places to travel? Better yet, what’s on your travel bucket list? Leave it in the comments below!

Until next time..
