Daca totul merge bine, inclusiv masina, marti o sa fiu in Salonic si vineri in Ouranoupolis, peninsula Athos. Ma rog macar pentru 3-4 zile de soare 
Am facut gresita comparatie intre Grecia si Spania (unde in octombrie erau 30 de grade si plajele imense erau goale - just perfect!). Sper totusi ca vremea sa tina cu noi!
Cum a aparut Ouranoupolis:
Because of it’s relative isolation Ouranoupolis has not been effected by mass tourism. It was part of Mount Athos until 1922, when approximately 50 families, Greek refugees from Asia Minor arrived under the auspices of the League of Nations, looking for a new home. The land was provided by Mount Athos and each family was given an one bedroom house, an arid plot of land and ten sheep. More families arrived four years later. Without a road to connect it to the rest of the world the village remained isolated and life was hard. In 1947 the locals took shovels and spades and cut a crude dirt-track road which ended the isolation and brought the very first adventurous tourists to the village
Inca ceva scris pe situl oficial:
This is a paradise of golden sand and clear blue sea. The unbelievably sparkling, limpid sea is crowded with fishes in all their varieties. Tiny whitebait panic before hungry larger fish and flicker in and out of the sea in their fright, to be caught into the jaws of diving birds or seagulls on breaking surface. Dolphins wheel playfully. In the dying sunlight monster swordfish heave themselves into the air, the pink glint of evening on their silvery skin … and pigs fly!
Remarca bolduita e a mea. Totusi, toata lumea stie ca Grecia e mai mult stanca si mai putin nisip. Si totusi daca situl asta are dreptate? 
M-am scos!
Inca ceva interesant. Programul GPS pe care o sa-l folosesc (si pe care l-am mai utilizat in alte plecari) nu are Grecia in detaliu. Grecia, oameni buni… Destinatie turistica majora a Europei… Sa fie oare doar paranoia mea cand vad cum se opreste harta in detaliu la granita catolicismului?
