My trip to Greece. Part II Sifnos

It literally hurts physically and mentally 

to write this post about my vacation in Greece, 

as yesterday was my first day back at work (nevermind that it took me like 45 minutes to recall all my passwords). 

I love my work, but I love holidays even more.

After few days in Athens (read about it here) we went to discover the famous Greek archipelago and this post is about a paradise called Sifnos and the main character is a Goddess who cannot swim: 

We woke like really early to catch the ship to Sifnos

and at 6am it was still hotter than the hottest day in Estonia 

(bitching about the weather is the national sport in Estonia):

Never have I ever seen such a big package of Feta cheese:

First I was like "Where am I?",

luckily the wall told me the truth:

Without this gentleman our trip would have been completely dull and full of tourist errors:

How could you shoot a good man down?

Our house was at the highest peak of the village just next to the church:

A rare Sifnos starfish was sighted:

Thinking about that Estonian girl, who he has not yet met, but will be his baby mama:

Please note the huge bruise on my left hand.

No, Fred is not beating me, I am just that crazy girl who loves moshing at a Foals concert:

His so sexy that it messes my head up:

Eat,

sleep

and repeat:

One evening we went to a fish restaurant named Captain Sifakis and ate everything on the menu:

One moment the waiter came with extra drinks telling that those were from the table next to us. We were more than surprised but, hey, free alcohol is the best alcohol there is. Then they started ordering food for us. Moment later more drinks. More Greek cheers. More Greek traditional music. Suddenly we are sitting at the same table with these guys and talking about Tiit Sokk and team Panathinaikos. Surreal!

The most authentic Greek evening in my life:

Shitty video to remember that great night:

The fish restaurant was at the beach and our home was high above, thus we needed to climb miles before getting there. Thanks to the endless amounts of drinks Mr.Panathinaikos poured us it took us like a week to get home:  

I love my men, like a love my wine,

red and full of alcohol:

We aren't good friends when you have not had the privilege to get to know my 10 picture self-timer: 

Always a good idea to try the traditional Russian dance on the roof at 2am:

Morning yoga pose - the flying whale:

Peace and water:

Vacation means that you have forgotten what a bra is,

let it breathe, let is loose:

Khaleesi walking to Dragonstone:

"Fred, I really want to own some dragons. Pretty pleeeeeeaaasssee!":

bliss (blɪs)

perfect happiness; great joy:

Thinking about all the fucks that are not given:

Slightly pink is in my book 'very tanned':

We be drummin'

we be jammin':

The perfect home-cooked meal,

even the ice cubes had a special flavour: 

The bitchin' balcony view at night with Draginstone and the Westeros seen at distance:

My beach booooy:

I am the queen of random power naps:

The beach party in making:

Yes, our Airbnb house was a museum:

Bye, bye Sifnos and hello Athens again:

I am all about travelling.

Just shut up and take my money!

Alexis, you are the king! This trip was unreal!

ευχαριστώ!

Discovering my inner Greek goddess in Athens

Fred's Greek friend Alexis has always invited us to Greece and you know what, we did as we were told. We were so sick of freezing all the time in Estonia, so we wanted to remind ourselves what sweating is all about. So far Greece has fully delivered, thanks to the heatwave the temperatures reach 38°C. 

First two days we spent in Athens. The amount of ancient ruins gave my historian self an orgasm and the amount of graffiti gave a hint of the more grim times.

Look at these bloody tourist at the Acropolis of Athens.

The famous Parthenon is just behind us:

The proper outfit for 38°C.

Sweating much?

Nevermind the Ancient ruins you stumble upon every step,

the Byzantine, early Christian and Turkish Ottoman era landmarks could be found here and there:

I have a theory that these two guys are brothers and they got separated at birth.

Unbelievable how alike one blond Estonian and brunette Greek can be:

The flea market was amazingly cheap, next time we should come with a big van and go nuts.

(The guy behind me really likes my pants):

Acropolis at distance looking over Athens:

Remember kids, those are Ionic capitals.

Art history teacher would be proud:

Apollo and Aphrodite:

Sweat, baby, sweat!

I believe it can't get more Greek than this:

Bromance:

Ice-cold water makes the world go round:

The amount of stray animals on the streets of Athens is ridiculous!

They seem pretty chill though:

Casually watching the sunset next to ancient agora (dropping terms here):

House hair:

"It's hot, man!"

The prices were reasonable and the knowledge of English together with the hospitality

means that Greece kicked Italy's ass:

The Acropolis is seen from all around the Athens,

it helps you to navigate:

The day after we hunted down delicious ice-cream:

And conquered yet another mountain:

SPF 50 is my best friend:

Boys feeling like Gods looking over Athens:

We were ready to enter the church:

The Orthodox church and the Greek characteristics is very similar to Russia,

thus it felt weirdly familiar:

"Hi moms! We are doing good!"

That moment when you realise that your ass is on fire:

Cactus boys:

Mari was here:

Erased the memory of winter from my mind:

Looking at the distance and thinking about an inspirational quote:

The X factor:

Golden trio:

Zyrtec allergy medicine commercial:

The city is full of contrasts and without a local guiding us I would be pretty scared:

Caper berries/leaves together with Greek cheese and olives:

In food we trust:

Contrast of Athens = the academy and nearby you can find an alley filled with drug junkies:

On the third day we drove to a beach nearby Athens.

Alexis told us that it is a rather average place, but I as a basic bitch enjoyed it fully:

Alexis caught a sea urchin,

with some lemon + olive oil and the dinner is served: 

Enough with the city, now we are sunbathing on a Greek island Sifnos,

but more about that in the next episode.
