Family reunion

Rosanna Fogel on 03 August 2021
After almost 2 years of missing my daughter and grandchildren, we finally got together in Greece. Tearful hugs in the baggage reclaim area of all places and then 4 nights in Athens. It was hot but the joy of experiencing the city and its treasures was wonderful.

On day 5 we headed to Poros on a seacat and there began our chilled, sun and laughter filled week. The sea is wondrous around the Greek islands. Clear, clean and warm. People were swimming from dusk until dawn. I would say that the majority of tourism is local, but the harbour is full of yachts from far and wide.

We headed back to the mainland for our last week as I was unsure whether the required PCR tests would be available on the smaller islands. Vouliagmeni is a delight. Popular with Athenians and the jetset. We were fortunate to have lunch at the Four Seasons one afternoon. If you can afford a stay it is a perfect way to relax and soak up the amenities and fabulous location whilst also being within a 30 minute drive of Athens for the cultural experience.

I would not have missed this one for the world.
