What was awesome about the place I was staying at in Chalkidiki was the location. The house was located up the cliff where you only see farmland for miles and miles on end. A 5 minute drive down the cliff was the beautiful coastline. It was a drastic difference but loved it. I was literally in a different place in matter of minutes. I got to spend my days at the beach and my evenings watching the sunset in the countryside.
One evening I stopped by a farm near the house to go horse riding. We were the only ones there, so I got to enjoy the entire place for myself. 😁

Afterwards, I went to eat at a locally owned restaurant called Amelia at the seaport. We were the first one there so we got to meet Amelia herself. Although, I couldn’t communicate with her I could tell that she enjoyed having us there. After greeting us she went to the kitchen to cook for us herself. Her passion for cooking reflected on her food. It was delicious, fresh and was nicely put together and most importantly made with love. It was something about the people, the food, the scenery and the sunset that made this moment so special.
We ordered: Sardines, Lightly Breaded Calimari, Salad, Feta cheese and Homemade French Fries.
After two weeks in Greece it was time for me to head back home. I was so glad I traveled out of my comfort zone. This trip left me with the hunger to keep traveling to new places. I lost the fear many of us have of traveling to the unknown. I learned that when we live in fear we miss out on the beautiful things life has to offer us. I became determined to visit all the places in the world I always wanted to go to. Nothing compares experiencing the people and the culture first hand. Greece has tremendous beauty and has extraordinary people. I will always cherish the memories I had in Greece and it will always have a special place in my heart. Good bye Greece, Hello, New York.
