Greece, a piece of heaven in earth!

I always wanted to visit Greece. I already had planned more than twice a trip to go there, but for some reason I could not go. Only in June this year, I finally boarded bound for the land of the greek gods, strong and unbeatable warriors, land of myths and minotaurs. But would the place correspond to my expectations?

Even I was a bit apprehensive the arrival was very exciting, from the top I could see that incredibly blue sea, and a few islands with a stunning landscape. It was a dream come true. I arrived in Athens, the capital, and went looking for a place to eat before going to the hotel, I tried a local food called gyrus (lots of meat with pita bread) and found it delicious. The hotel was located a bit far from the center, but easy access to the subway and buses. I was a little worried because i couldn´t speak the Greek language, but most traffic signs were also in English.

The Greek people are very excited and very receptive. I visited various places, but what impressed me most were the archaeological sites. In some places it was possible to relive history, imagine what it was all about and be in touch with such ancient architecture and stunning in its ruins.
After three days in Athens, I decided to go to my final destination:  Santorini, one of the most beautiful islands in the world, and in my personal opinion, a bit of heaven here on earth. I have stayed in a hotel in Oia, where I could watch the sunset (one of the most beautiful and famous worldwide) Every evening, all the guests went up to the terrace, and together we enjoyed that spectacle of nature.

Santorini was one of the best moments I lived in Greece ... and I enjoyed every moment for sure. I visited some small local islands, amazing beaches, did a boat trip which took me to a dormant volcano, and some other small islands. Santorini is a beautiful place, the houses are so tiny and all in white, some with blue roofs and stairs everywhere . If you don´t have strong legs, please don´t go there because you can get stuck somewhere.

The sea was beautiful, the view of some points was impressive. I found out that Santorini is one of the most sought places for conducting weddings. Every single day I had a such bless to see a wedding being held in a church nearby the hotel I was hosted.

On my last day trip, I decided to go out to for shopping and brought some local products like bags, sandals, dresses, and of course, a marble sculpture of the Greek god, Zeus. When my friends ask me if I found some "Greek god" there, my answer is "yes, and I brought he with me".

It was an unforgettable trip and if I have the opportunity, I will do all again and again!
