Athens and Kalamata Greece

We flew from Malta to Athens on June 4th to start our 2 weeks in Greece.  After spending a couple of nights experiencing Athens restaurants, sites and shopping, we drove to Kalamata which is in the Peloponnese region and sits right along the coast framed by soaring mountains.  We rented a small apartment right on the waterfront with magnificent views.

      I have been shopping a bit! There are gorgeous clothes in Italy and Greece. And I bought some shoes and purses!

    So beautiful…Yah, I would like to know how many suitcases you have with you. I don’t think I have seen the same outfit on you since you left Canada. 😆 You always look like you are having a gloriously good time! Look forward to your next posting.

      We have 3 suitcases now – we are sending one back to Canada with April tomorrow. We started out with 3 suitcases so I guess we have added one!! I’m always looking to book a place that has a washing machine!!
