Awesome Day in Poseidon’s Realm!

We had an awesome day heading out to the Athenian Riviera! It was a windy day so we couldn’t stop at the original beach planned out Nikos took us to a lovely protected beach and we had fun swimming and sunning! We headed over to Poseidon’s Temple and it was amazing! So beautiful and a great place to wander around and explore. They have a little cafe if you are hungry or thirsty. The local restaurant we went to on the way back from Athens was excellent and something we wouldn’t have found on our own. I don’t know what L.B.’s issue was but we had a fantastic day!
