Sithonia

The heat was getting to us. That and having being sated on all things cultural in Turkey we fancied a bit of a rest, a little holiday before our Balkan assault. Our travelling friends Kim & James had suggested a wonderful spot on the Greek peninsular of Sithonia - the geographic middle finger if you will - and we were well keen to go and investigate...

Wow, what a beach huh?

How clear do you like your water?

Hanging out in the Ionian

The spot was as close to paradise as you can get - as we free camped between two ancient, gnarled olive trees, right on a beach with the clearest, warmest water imaginable. Three days of sheer and utter bliss - reading, swimming and drinking what must have been absolute gallons of water!

This is how we like to camp!

When it's too hot to read on the sand...

...there must always be a better way!
