Wake Up! - Varvara Day 2

-
Had a second day at the Wake Up beach. It is amazing and I couldn't stop myself from visiting it again. This time the water was not as clean as the previous day, however the place was still as wild and great! 

As I have already tried the yoga, this time I decided that I can skip it and try something new instead. Krassen still had a group and everyone is always welcomed to join, it's a very open event, however I was  not in a workout mode. 

Instead I wanted to take a walk on the cliffs and be able to enjoy the view from there! Looked amazing! 


I also like to try something new and see a different view or the same from a different angle as this gives amazing opportunities. Taking a walk on the cliffs on the left, I followed a path between the trees and bushes and if you follow it to the end you will be able to enjoy the same view - there is a very small secluded area where the sea touches the shore and manages to transform the rocks into pebble beach. It looked bery private. There were people who were beaching there so I didn't get close as it was their private space and I was already coming from a beach which was not that intimate so decided I didn't want to take the privacy away however if you manage to get there first you will be able to try it and see it the pebbles are huge or one can walk on them with bare feet, whether the water is as warm and nice as on the other beach...


No matter whether the answer is yes or no, whether it looks and feels great, it is still nice to explore the place and find a new beach, even though it may not be an official one, there are no bars, no umbrellas, no waitress, etc. 

Still had great time and finished the evening in a very interesting place called "Startsi Razboinitsi" which means "Old Bandit Men" - had a great salad with tomatoes, cheese and olives pasta as well as humus which goes perfectly well with home made soda bread with olives - if you want to try the soda bread, just to let you know- you need to order it when making the reservation, they can't do it otherwise. Also tried the French fries and they were great - made there and not frozen who knows when. They tasted great! I'm very happy with the restaurant choice! Also had a glass of white wine - just one but it was perfect and tasty! 
Overall - Varvara proved to be a very suitable place if looking for a wild, yet comfortable small beach and a nice restaurant to have dinner at. Don't have pics of the place but we had dinner in the garden and it was like we were visiting someone in their home garden - vintage style, the atmosphere was very leisure!  
Besides the sea at this secluded area is very warm and welcoming! And so are everyone I met there!

Lalaria Beach Skiathos

If you are planning a trip to Skiathos, you have most probably heard about Lalaria beach. This amazing "must-see" destination which is hard to reach but worth it. I myself was very passionate about seeing it and have no regrets.       How to go there? There is a number of options as many companies offer boat tours. There are tours only to Lalaria and there are also combined trips. The combined ones seemed great to me as they give the opportunity to visit Lalaria and Tsougrias the same day so you don't have to give away two of your days for beaching, but just one. The combined trips cover both beaches, show you the caves (I have never found those interesting, honestly) and also give you the opportunity to spend time in Kastro. This is the old town where you can see the fortress and there is a beach as well. The cost is € 15-20 per person. The boats leave from the old port at 10 in the morning and return at 17-18. There are different options depending

Issos Beach, Corfu

This is one of the southern beaches of the island and was great!  If you love beach bars, this may not be your place - the bars there are not like the ones at other beaches, but the beach itself is very nice!  Fine golden sand, crystal-clear water... Exactly what I wanted - line which I used almost every day looking at my feet through the magical small waves we had.  At the place where we chose to sit, there was a small bar from which we could get drinks and food - salads, sandwiches, Aperol.... And it was nice since there was light music. The toilette was close too - just up the hill. With the locker from the outer side... :D In general, I would recommend the south beaches - no stones, the water is exactly as one would expect from a Greek island.... There are umbrellas and sunbeds - the cost for 2 beds and the umbrella is 7 euro, which I find reasonable. There is free zone too. What I really liked is that at greek beaches people usually come later
