To all of my previous loves, there is still a place in my heart for you - that said, Greece is my newest love. I've heard people talk about Greece many times and had always wanted to go there to see what everyone was talking about - and let me tell you it didn't disappoint. Unfortunately, Haley and I only had 3 days to spend in Greece, which wasn't nearly enough - this is definitely a place I will come back to, hopefully in the near future!
After driving down from Skopje, Haley and I spent the evening in Thessolaniki. We got in on the rather late side, but this was more a result of my terrible sense of direction and the lack of a GPS system. Therefore, our first night, we didn't have much time to do anything except go to dinner. Unfortunately, we arrived on a Monday which happened to be a holiday and there were very few places open and hardly anyone around. That said, we did find a cute little restaurant with delicious food (I'm now obsessed with Greek food). The only drawback was our dinner companion, I think I want to name him Fred:
The next day we were able to walk around Thessolaniki for a bit before we headed down to the beach. The city had some really beautiful monuments and architecture, however, it was much more urban that I had expected - with many of the monuments being surrounded by more modern buildings:
That afternoon, Haley and I drove down to the beach (I let Haley drive this time as she was NOT impressed with my driving skills). We started the afternoon at the Sani Beach Resort, which had amazing views - and like any good tourist, I probably took at least 40 photos in the few hours that we were there!
