• Day boat trip around Mount Athos

    September 12 in Greece ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    My 60th birthday day started off with the hotel staff singing to me at breakfast with a beautiful cake.
    We spent the day sailing the Aegean Sea and swimming in The Blue Lagoon at the Diaporous Island.

    We boarded pirate ship Maria Minea III for a trip around the third peninsula - Mount Athos. Well organized boat tour with a wholesome lunch of cevappi, Greek salad and rice included. Sailed past 20 monasteries with special attention to 4. A very informative boat ride and an incredible experience swimming in the crystal blue waters of the Blue Lagoon.

    Dinner: Spectacular dinner at Oceansides overlooking the Aegean Sea with the grand finale of being serenaded by the staff with a birthday cake.
    The day was made extra special with the kids surprising me with a bottle of champagne, fruit and 2 spas delivered to me by the hotel staff.
    A memorable 60th birthday celebration.
