Portugal, Sicily, Greece and the Balkans

Loved our time at Paros. Are you going to Antiparos-thought it made a great day out with the cave a highlight
Not sure but thinking of going there. We’ve got no plans for tomorrow so might do a trip. Thanks for the tip about the caves.
 
We had an early morning flight from Paros to Thessaloniki so we’re up at 4:30 am 🥱. The Paros airport is tiny and the experience was interesting. We had checked in on line but still needed to drop our bags off. Check in staff checked passports and boarding passes, weighed our bags and you then took it to another section to pass through the X-ray machine and on to the baggage handlers. You then had to wait until the previous flight departed before going through security as there was only enough room in the departure area one load of people. I think the aircraft were all ATR72’s.

The flight was only about an hour with some incredible views of Greek Islands.

We only have a couple of nights in Thessaloniki so unfortunately don’t havre time to get out to Mt Olympus, thermal springs, waterfalls etc. Hopefully another time 🤞. We spent the time here just wandering around the main port/town area where we are staying.

Holy Church of St Demetrios. I’m a little bit “churched” out but glad I went to this one.
