Summer in Greece

The weather has been lovely the last two weeks. Not too hot, a cool breeze, beautiful weather to go to the beach. Not that I went, because, unfortunately, Sparta doesn't lie on the sea. As a matter fact it is situated in a valley between two mountain ranges and it can become very hot. The sea isn't that far away, but still it takes you three quarters of an hour to get there.

I have a very fair and sensitive skin, so I can't really stay in the sun too long. I become like a lobster,even with all the creams I put on! I am too old now to sit under the umbrella with only 1sq meter of space!
I like to go if I could stay for a few days. Have a swim early in the morning and late afternoon and stay in a nice cool house during the other hours. I might manage to go for a few days sometime this summer.

I have my outfit ready!

I love the beach at Skoutari. It is a tiny beach and it is still very authentic.

There are a lot of these  lovely  beaches in Greece, where you can really relax.

And....of course, I have nice bags to chose from for each visit to the beach or to Gytheion, the little town on the seaside , where you can have a nice meal or ouzo on the waterfront, shop in little boutiques and take the ferry to Crete. Or have a stroll in Aereopolis, where the last pictures are taken.
