Europe pre-school trip 2022

Juni - Juli 2022

Travel to Greece, Spain, a cruise around the Mediterranean and a trip to Lithuania. These were the longest summer holidays we had, which were possible thanks to a remaining parental leave for Alisa, and to Elijas having a break before school. Baca selengkapnya

Hari 1
Arrival to Thessaloniki
1 Juni 2022, Yunani ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
The flight went according to the plan and we landed in Thessaloniki at more than 30°C - that was very warm and had quite an impact on the general mood and the need for water. We stayed at the Waterfront apartments close to the port and at the heart of a restaurant area where most of them are very well rated. We had a huge portion of fish and chips at Mpakaliarakia sto limani
https://goo.gl/maps/EDiHbNEvQRKLqrpe6 as recommended by the apartment owner, so lots of fat called for a long walk. The next in plan was to invest Elijas' euros into a Lego set small enough to keep some cash and change it to DKK to get a Playdough accessory once we are back to DK. That set us back into a better mood and we could walk along the sea promenade past the white tower and to a playground. Kids loved and got amused by the fountains on the way! For dinner we got at our apartment the lovely Cretan barley rusks with tomato, olive oil and feta. Mmmmm!!!Baca selengkapnya

Thessaloniki - day 2
2 Juni 2022, Yunani ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
I wonder whether it is just us, or other families also face this: 1.5 hour to walk 100 meters away from home, including 2 returns home in the meanwhile for various reasons (me forgetting my phone, then Alisa in need of toilet..) anyway, after series of frustrations and discussions about the plan, our day official started with a lunch at a Kitchen bar, port restaurant recommended by our host. It was a very cosy, refreshing (they had fans!!) and Not so cheap but good quality food.
It certainly put us all in a better mood.
We were good to go to the white tour to take the decision of our life, hop on Citus bus…
How was it? We literally cooked in that bus, although we were expected to get some wind (the bus was quite open). But it was stuck in traffic most of the time with the”great guide” to keep us entertained. Just that it kept silent 98% of the time and when it spoke one could not hear anything due to the poor sound quality. But if we were without kids, I would take the risk to get lost on the upper side of the city close to the fortification..Baca selengkapnya

Edessa waterfalls
3 Juni 2022, Yunani ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Finally the road trip started! The destination was Edessa waterfalls, a one and a half hours drive away from Thessaloniki. The waterfalls were certainly beautiful and impressive. We could even go behind them on a balcony and access one cave that the water had carved through millions of years. The town was also charming itself, with lots of bridges and shade along the little river.Baca selengkapnya

We arrived late to the hotel close to Meteora. There were many great things waiting for us: the astounding sunset, the extra cute kittens, a playground and a huge bed to go late to sleep.

Meteora
4 Juni 2022, Yunani ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
This was a rich day! After enjoying our breakfast - best ever according to Elijas- we went to hike in Meteora between a parking lot at the access of Saint Nicholas monastery and the monastery of Varlaam. It was a refreshing hike under the shade of the trees, the mountains around were impressive and the monastery itself very beautiful. The afternoon program was exclusively dedicated to swimming and enjoying the slides for David.Baca selengkapnya

Meteora and arrival to Pelion
5 Juni 2022, Yunani ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
The day started with a greeting with the kittens (Alisa became such a friend with them that they started coming for a visit to our room), a perfect breakfast for Elijas and a dip in a swimming pool while Neringa preparing the luggages. It was impressive to see kids getting braver every minute and learning more in 2 days than in the whole year of swimming lessons in Denmark 🙈
The trip to Pelion peninsula was a bit of a torture for us all, because it was too long for the kids and once we got onto the picturesque road from Volos to our new home for another 2 days, both kids started complaining of a stomachache… for a moment we were a bit unsure whether it was due to the food (which was excellent btw, ordered with a help of a local teacher, because the town square restaurant in Nikaia had no menu, and the waitress could not speak a word of EN), or the spinning roads. It turned out the be the latter as the kids fell asleep at the end and the ache got away as soon as we reached our Amelia beach apartments.
Not so much more achieved in the day, just a quick swim in the sea, a pancake dinner next door and a good rest until tomorrow!Baca selengkapnya

Relax day in Agios Ioannis
6 Juni 2022, Yunani ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
The day could not start better with the sun greeting us while rising above the sea. We went to explore a neighbor beach - Papanero - though we got some experiences on the way: a local dog that followed us and mandatory stop at the playground. Later at the beach, Alisa played with the ice cream sand toys while Neringa and Elijas fought against Neptune in the water. The rest of the day was rather slow but we could also manage on time to go to bed for the early trip to the ferry the day after.Baca selengkapnya

Hari 7
Good bye Pelion and hello Skiathos
7 Juni 2022, Yunani ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
The day started early, so after a stormy night Alisa could also finally see the sunrise 🌅.
We took off to Volos port where we departed to Skiathos island by ferry. It was quite special as Elijas had been waiting for the ferry moment since the start of the trip. To my astonishment, he was not so thrilled about the Greek landscape, small islands and islets popping up from different corners, instead he wanted to stay INSIDE the boat and explore it fully. And he did until he found a mini playground where the kids stayed most of the trip while their mother was enjoying the changing landscape…
When we arrived we still had a few hours to “waste” until we could check in at Villa Karina, so we decided to have a mini road trip around the island (which is not so big to begin with). We learned only later that the busses do not go to parts of the island and the why is the crazy narrow, steep, winding and unpaved roads!!! Our rented car could barely make it up the hill and we were very stressed not to meet anyone coming from the front, as there was no easy solution there. Drama aside, the panorama was stunning and if not the deadly roads I would wish to return for a proper photo session (which we could not do coz the kids fell asleep at that moment).
After the mini tour we stopped to eat. We happened to enter Skiathos city by car, big mistake, which we managed to correct and park a bit outside the car (same problem as mentioned above + too many pedestrians).

We were not very impressed by the lunch with a few dead cockroaches in the toilets, but maybe it was because we deliberately avoided the main walking street with noticeably elevated prices (we are smart after 6 days of travel 🧭)..anyway, we ate well, the kids were entertained with 7 (!) homeless cats around the restaurant’s terrace and they also could eat spaghetti which they enjoyed very much after days of suvlaki and french fries…

The hotel and its closest (sandy) beach was the afternoons programme with a ‘home-made’ build-it-yourself Cretan sandwiches for dinner (recipe taught by my dear Cretan friend Minos). Could not ask for more!Baca selengkapnya

Beaches in Skiathos
8 Juni 2022, Yunani ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
We got a fantastic breakfast to start the day, exactly what we needed to go check some beaches in Skiathos. The first one we went was the Banana beach at the west most point in the island, belonging to some private resort but still accessible by foot. This one was recommended by a Greek who helped us a couple of days before at a restaurant and who had been quite often in the island. It was definitely a very nice beach and kids friendly, with toilets, changing cabins and showers, and with quite a safe access to the water.
After that, we had our lunch at a nearby restaurant and continued to the next beach in the north of the island: Small Asolinos. This was only accessible through a dirt road and was more picturesque than previous beaches. Alisa and Elijas rejoiced swimming there and playing restaurant where the dishes were stones.Baca selengkapnya
