Sunday... A day which offers to us the rest we seek after a difficult work.
We start dreaming Sunday from Monday morning every week. We make plans, we dream how we could spend it.
This weekend was the start of the spring for Greece. The weather was perfect for this time of the year and everybody chose to travel around and enjoyed the nature.

I traveled a lot this weekend around Attiki. I needed to be close to the sea, to the beautiful beaches. I have born in an island and the touch of the sea with all my senses it is something I seek mostly this period of my life.

I am also a piscean at the horoscope. My mother brought me in life the period that the water element governed the sky.

Sunday morning and one more time I chose to travel without any plan. I uncovered my MG and after a passage from the center of Athens which I enjoyed it a lot I went to pick up my aunt from her home and I left Vrasida (my car) to drive me close to the sea. Second day beside the sea... This weekend was devoted to the water element.

Vrasidas brought us to the Old Fokea (Palea Fokea) a municipality close to Sounio which I have presented to you in one of my older blogs.

Palea Fokea is a very nice seaside town, with its own fishing port and a nice beach, which gets busy in the weekends during summer by vacationing Athenians. Palaia Fokaia is located approximately 40 km SE of Athens.

Mountains cover the eastern part of the municipality, consisting mostly of rocks and grasslands. Forests lie to the east and to the north. The remaining area, including one further northwest, is covered by farmlands and residential buildings. Rocky seashore dominates the southern part. In general, the terrain is quite hilly, apart from the northwest which is mostly flat. The municipallity includes the small, rocky and deforested island of Patroklos, which is uninhabited.

The town has restaurants, shops, bars and taverns, next to the beach and surrounding the highway. Hotels also cover the coastline. Trees surround the coastline, from the junction of the highway with the road to Kalyvia Thorikou all the way to the eastern part of the beach. A park in a shape of almost a triangle is in the centre of the area and a beach lies to the west and an amusement park used mainly in the weekends lies to the northwest.

We had a special lunch with gavro (small fishes of the Aegean sea) and small squids (kalamari). Ouzo was our aperitif. We walked around the small harbour after our lunch and I shooted some photos to present you another beautiful place of my country.

I hope you enjoyed this small taste of my Sunday. Wish you all a nice new week and start dreaming the next weekend.
Make plans and prepare yourself for the next weekend.
