Poros and Aegina
Poros is the smallest island of the three islands. It was very cold and windy then. I had to wear my winter jacket to keep me warm. We quickly went to the small shops to buy some souvenirs and then we went back to the ship for our lunch.
That's our ship waiting for us at the island.
view of the other side
look at those buildings..
The landscape is very hilly and mountainous. The highest peak is the
Vigla (358 m) in the west-central part. Following the island's
topography and geology, small creeks and seasonal streams flow through
steep valleys of the southern and northeastern part. The western and
northern part of the island feature smooth hills and shallow valleys.
Sandy beaches are restricted to the southern shore of the island, except
for a bay in the northern part called Vayionia.

we boarded the ship after we had got some souvenirs
to have our lunch
time to go to the next island, Aegina
awesome view of the sea
reached Aegina
The
city of Aegina is the capital city of the island and it's
located on the west side.
It's built amphitheatrical towards the sea. When you enter the harbor, the small, white church of Saint Nikolas welcomes you.
Your first impession is the modern type classical buildings, which are located along the sea front of the island and have terristrial shade colors which make them look even more beautiful at sunset.
The economic and social life of Aegina is centralized on the coastal road and the parallel roads.

It was getting warmer here.
the town center
We explored the town and finally we went back to the ship.
Pistachios is popular in this island.
But I didn't get to buy any as I had finished up my euros earlier in Poros.
It was almost evening..the sun was setting.
Finally, it set and we reached our destination..back to where we started our trip
Next: we had our Wyeth gala dinner.
I like the last two photos. Beautiful sunset.
ReplyDeleteYou did not cover your head in the 1st and 2nd photos - isn't your head cold? I need to cover my head in cold weather else I will get a headache.
ReplyDeleteI just covered for a short while as it was so windy and my ears got chilled..
DeleteWas the lunch on the ship nice to eat? I couldn't identify what food you have on your plate. Was there fish on your plate?
ReplyDeleteIt's buffet style..not too bad..
DeleteNice ship...
ReplyDeletei like the 2nd last picture...
ReplyDeleteHow was the foods in the ship?
ReplyDeleteok..I just had once but the fried chicken was so tough..

ReplyDeletelove the view from afar seeing the houses built by the hills..

oh the lunch is onboard the ship??
ReplyDeletei thot you were brought to some restaurants on the island itself..
anyway, the lunch looks good to me actually..
yea, it's onboard as I supposed the island couldn't accommodate so many people. Its restaurants are rather small too.
DeleteAegina sounds a great nice island too..
ReplyDeletebuilt amphitheatrical towards the sea and everyone is welcomed by the white church of Saint Nikolas..
hmmm, finished up your euros so quickly??
ReplyDeleteyou should have asked your sister to lend you some,

ReplyDeleteI am sure you had a very nice stay in the island, as the view is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. I love them all.
ReplyDeleteIt has always been my dream to visit those countries where they have buildings and houses all stacked on the slopes and hills by the sea like what you posted. So unique! I would love to walk there!
ReplyDeleteThe boat looked so unique in shape. I had never seen one like that.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how many hours was your boat cruise?
ReplyDeletewe started at 8.15am in the morning and reached back at 7pm. It's a day cruise.
