We went on a 4 day bus tour (really awesome) which is basically a nice, private bus--the kind where the driver is a level below the passengers....not a double decker. You can find a picture online if you search up "tour bus" on google images.
We drove all around Greece. We had an excellent tour guide. She obviously knew her stuff. She used to be an archaeologist. She was born and raised in Greece and, obviously, still living there.
There were a lot of other people on the bus. My brother and I were the only children on the tour, at least we thought so until we met an 8th grader, who I had mistaken for a young adult--who was here was on vacation with her mother and aunt.
Everyone on the bus got to know each other really well. Everyone was really friendly.
Basically, we drove all around Greece--urban and rural areas, while our amazing guide told us about stuff. We stopped once in a while.
We saw so much. Everyone had bought their luggage with them and kept it in the suitcase compartment of the tour bus.
We saw so many excavations and ruins and so much more! We stopped in many places such as Epidavros, Korinthos (Korinth Canal), where we spent a few hours before we hit the road again.
Our tour guide would take us for lunch and in the night, she took us to a hotel, where we the spent the night.
First Night: Olympia (we saw the first olympic stadium)
Second Night: Delphi
Third Night: Meteora (AMAZING)
Fourth Night: We were dropped off at Athens...the tour had ended. :(
After that we spent 2 days in Athens. We saw the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum and much more.
Then, we went on a 4 day cruise (It was really fun) around the Greek islands. We saw Crete, Rhodes, Patmos, Mykinos and then the Santorini (where the people who wanted to be dropped off at Santorini, were dropped off at Santorini, which included my family) We spent 4 days in Santorini. It was beautiful!
We just chilled for the most part and we stayed in an AMAZING hotel (Volcano View).
I might upload a few pictures soon.
BYE!!!
