Trains and Sand

We spent the day traveling to and enjoying the Athenian beaches. It was a bit confusing getting there, but after a couple of false starts, we were able to find a nice beach by train. For those of you who may be traveling to Athens in the future, the beach at Kalmaki can be reached by tram from Syntagma square. Make sure you take the number 5 train. The beach was nice. There were chairs laid out, and servers brought drinks and snacks around. The beach was slightly rocky, but still okay.



Enjoying an Amstel by the Agean. Hopefully, by the time we come back, I'll be a bit more tan than this pasty white you see before you.
Looking good!
We spent a couple of hours at the beach, but eventually, we both began to burn. The beach is definitely worht the slight hassle it takes to get there. Plus, how can you be this close to the historically famous Agean sea, and not dip your foot in?

  1. Yup, it's always easy to spot the Minnesotans on the beach, eh? :-) Must have been nice to relax finally, though!
