Akrotiri & beach time, what could be better!

 "Another lovely beach day and we saw more ancient ruins (Akrotiri is like Pompeii, but Akrotiri was buried by a volcanic eruption 1,600 years earlier…and no bodies have been found). We had a fun final dinner as we prepare to head home. This has been such a great group - family, friends, mixed ages and all good energy. Safe travels home everyone!"

 Today we went to Akrotiri, the ancient ruins discovered after a volcanic eruption more than 1600 years ago. This pristine city buried in volcanic ash is much like Pompeii however they believe the inhabitant of that time for sought the eruption and tried to evacuate but since no human remains have been found they believe they were destroyed in the tsunami that followed the eruption. The ancient city id covered to preserve it and it is still and active excavation site today. The amount of archeological site that are still buried simply amaze me! Visiting these sites just make you stop and think.

 After this added stop it was off for some beach time. Though we have been staying right on the beach we have not spent much time there yet. Today was perfect.

 We finished the day with our farewell dinner which provided entirely too much foor though it was amazing! 

After dinner Sheree, Tristan and I accompanied Paige to get her tattoo of The Poseidon which turned out amazing! Great vibes for all!

Cooking with Christos @ The FEGGERA RESTAURANT

"We had a a lot of laughs in the kitchen with Christos (when we were patient) and a great meal at his restaurant. The ancient center of Megalochori is charming, as is the cooking terrace/restaurant.

We learned to make our favorites: pastitsio/pasta with meat sauce and bechamel, tomato fritters, Greek salad and tzatziki."

 

Today might have been one of my favorite cooking days! It was beautiful, it was immersive, it was full of joy, laughter, fun, great food and great friends! We made Tzatziki, tomato fritters, Greek Salad, and a traditional Greek dish, pasta with meat sause and bechamel. It was kind of like an alfredo lasagna. Not only was it a joy to make it was also amazing to eat! Nestled in the open air venue with lovely Greek views in the quaint little village of Megalochori. 

We capped off the day with a roof top swim in Sheree's pool.
