Bliss arrives from heat, rest, a slower pace, the whisper of waves, the sea salt on our skin. Galissas Beach for the day.
The Story
KEEPING IT SIMPLE
Another simple day on Syros, with some exploring of the quaint town of Ermoupoli and dinner on the stairs there.
DITTO…THE BEACH!
Another relaxing day at Galissas Beach on Syros Island in Greek Cyclades….ahhhhh!
TRAVEL TIME AGAIN: SYROS TO PIRAEUS, GREECE
We travel from Syros to Piraeus, sad to leave the island. But happy to have had the time there that we did.
ALWAYS DREAD A FLIGHT — ATHENS TO BARI, ITALY
The dreaded travel day — flying Athens to Bari. All went smoothly, if too hot, until we came to our dump of a room. Saved by Italian food, though!
MYSTERIOUS MATERA, ITALY
The morning bus ride from Bari delivers us to sweltering and mysterious Matera, Italy, the designated Cultural Capital City of Europe.
NO MORE DAYTIME HEAT, MATERA AT NIGHT!
We stayed out of the midday heat and enjoyed wandering the length of the Sassi, in Matera, Italy, in the evening.
