The Beauty of Argostoli.

When we docked in Argostoli, I was in awe of the beautiful, clear water by the ship. We knew we wanted to spend the day at the beach but we didn’t know which one! We started walking to the city bus to catch it to the next beach; however, a taxi driver stopped us and said that he could take us to one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe, Myrtos Beach.

 After a half an hour of travelling on winding roads through the cliffs, we arrived at one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. The cab stopped at the top of the mountain to allow us to take pictures of the beach from above, then we proceeded to drive down. The water was so clear and beautiful even all the way out to the deeper parts. However, the ONLY pitfall was that it was a rocky beach, so it was hard to walk on when going to and from the water. It was also slightly foggy at first (which you’ll notice in the pictures.) That didn’t matter because it was just so peaceful and relaxing. We spent the day at the beach, reading, tanning, swimming, and relaxing.

The most hilarious part of this day was seeing the goats on the road. THAT’S RIGHT, you heard me, GOATS, on the road, NOT DEER, but GOATS. Sorry I just found that so amusing, I’ve only really seen goats in the petting farm or behind a fence, not just wandering around, hanging out, and chilling on the road.

We made it back to the ship and relaxed until dinner. Dinner was Italian themed, so towards the end all the servers played Italian songs and danced. They even got all of the ladies, including myself, to waltz with them. Our waiter, Marlon, was the best dancer! I was so full and content after dinner that once my head hit the pillow, I passed out!
