Today we was a travel day. We are leaving Corfu and going to Thessaloniki. It’s a Saturday and the Corfu airport is a mad house. The entrance to the rental car return was blocked with buses and the line for international flights was out the door. And as one lady said, “It’s only May!”. Luckily the area for domestic flights was much less crowded.
While in line we met a man who works for Dream Yacht Charters and he said we might be able to rent a boat for several months and sail it from Sicily to Barcelona and then to Ibiza or Mallorca. Might be a trip for next summer???
The flights were fine, renting the car in Thessaloniki was easy, and finding the apartment was no problem. The apartment is in a great location, right in the middle of the city and very close to the primary historical structures. Luckily it comes with a parking spot. After our host showed us around the apartment, we headed to the shoreline to get some lunch/dinner (we didn’t get a meal on the planes). Here are pictures of the shoreline.
It was 4:30 so most places were serving drinks, but eventually we found a place serving food. We had a nice meal and then headed back to the apartment, stopping at a grocery store along the way.
Once back I figured out the rest of our land trip and booked apartments and hotels. We leave here on Tuesday, spend one night in Meteora, two nights near Delphi, and four nights in Mystras before arriving in Athens, where we spend a couple of nights and then pick up the boat. It feels good to have that settled. Here’s a map of our scheduled travels.
