Xenonas Sirdari Nikiti

... Byzantine museum to visit, and an archeological museum to gander. My favorite site was the White Tower. It’s a big cylinder-shaped tower made out of stone that used to be the end tower where the sea met the city walls. The White Tower used to be called the Bloody Tower because it held prisoners once upon a time and many were executed there. It is white-colored nowadays because a prisoner white-washed it in exchange for his freedom ...

... grubby, multi coloured "designer" tracksuits looking incredibly frazzled and worn-out. Clearly they were illegal immigrants. A boat had landed them during the night. They were carrying small rucksacks in which were all their worldly possessions. It is one of the saddest sights that we have ever seen. These men were probably the cream of their local communities. Back home, they were the ones with ambition and get-up and go. They had begged, stolen, borrowed and worked their nuts ...

7.8.06 Mt Olympus It was time to leave Nikiti Camping, we're reluctant to go as we're finding it so relaxing and we've had an opportunity to catch up such things as washing linen and making space in the camper with a big clean out of all the things we've never used. We were intending to go to the caves in Amfipolis but ended up taking the scenic ...

... other girls to do some very basic steps to the music. When we asked it this how they do it in Greece, Birgitte replied, "No, this is the Greek dancing for the tourists". Kostas then got up and showed us how it was really done, including the smashing of a glass with his foot. It was quite spectacular. We were entertained with singing, dancing, clapping, drinks and an enjoyable evening which ended with a swim ...

... by accident, like most of our camp sites, they're not planned we just come upon them. There was a tiny sign on the main road which read 'To The Beach', well that was enough for us. Earlier on the freeway signs warned us that free camping is forbidden, although that hasn't stopped some tourists camping on the beach outside Nikiti Camp Ground. I think it's tolerated if it's only for 24 hours. We haven't seen any police patrols ...

... beach by a moonlight which was pretty romantic;)). many other things as well. Greeks and others inviting you to never-ending drinks... Good food, good weather. There was some fire going on just after I came back home, fotunatelly for me, unfortunatelly for those who came after us (me and my friend)...

... to the local tradition, is the place where Paul stood as he spoke to this town. After this we went to the Vergina, the first capital of Macedonia, where we visited the tomb of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. We got to see many of the great findings from the tomb and then went to lunch at a local restaurant in Vergina. After lunch we went started our drive back to Thessaloniki for our train home. We stopped at a mall that ...

... they thought it would have been. There is a mosaic in the early church that has a phrase that translates to "Thank you Paul." This church is built next to a 2 century pagan temple. We also saw a baptistery in the shape of a cross and baths that had been incorporated into the new church. The building structure here is reflective of how the church changed over time. There were of course more public toilets, I though we had seen and heard enough ...

... of the recently graduated. Just so you can see the route in the larger sense... Amsterdam - Frankfurt - Munich - Bologna - Rome - Monolopi - Bari - Igomenitsa - Thesaloniki - Kasandra - Elani. All of those places were changes in transportation. Country Count: 4. Time: 1 Week
