Sphakteria

On the evening of the first of July we went for a boat ride around the bay of Pylos (also known as Navarino). The boats were small and we got to sit wherever we wanted to… I was a little nervous but got braver as time went on, even dangling my feet in the water as we rode around to different islands. We got to go to a small, very rocky island with beautiful views and the bluest water you’ve ever seen… but there were 100 extremely steep stairs to climb up. While worth it, I accidentally left my purse at the top and had to make the trip 1.5 times. Woops.
Then we went to the island of Sphakteria to explore a small Russian Orthodox church there. It’s made entirely out of wood and we were able to climb up to the bell tower… it smelled good. Then we took a trip over to “Golden Beach” for supper. The water was much too cold for me to get in, so I enjoyed the evening reading and sunbathing. After supper, some friends and I played a quick game of volleyball before taking the boats back to Pylos and chilling for a while to read Tarot before bed.

Today we enjoyed a beach called Romanos, which was very nice, but once again, I forgot my camera. Sorry guys! Also, if you want to see all of my photos and you don't have facebook, I'll have a link for them as soon as they're all uploaded... just let me know if you want it.
