Had our 4 days on Paros. 2 perfect days with beautiful calm water, a little cooler than we hoped, but still managed a few swims. Next couple of days blew up, so not so great. The morning we sailed back to Athens it was calm again so we left with the same beautiful images as we had on arrival.
Stayed another 2 nights in Athens. Spent one day using our all day metro pass, jumping on and off random stations, we found a couple more impresssive ruins we had missed previously.
Took a bit of sorting out to try and organise our bus travel to Thessaloniki. Several false attempts to find bus agencies, then when we did, they couldn't sell us the tickets! Had to buy them at the actual station just before we left.
2 days in Thessaloniki, it's a lovely city, and the food is superb. We had read that it was a great melting pot of tastes / cuisines, and that was spot on. There is also great competition for your custom between the restaurants so we found ourselves with free wine and dessert each night, not that we really needed dessert..... Tonight we were serenaded with Zorba the Greek amongst other traditional sounding Greek music. It made you want to start smashing plates!
On a bus to Skopje, Macedonia romorrow.
