A Quick look at Hydra Harbor, Greece

Greece Paced Just Right

After several nights of hobnobbing and press events in Athens it feels great to be just chilling. The pace set by the Greeks was fast, furious and fun. Dinners often stretched into a one or two A.M. event, last night we were still sitting in the plaka outside till the wee morning hours after a concert of tango stars from the 50’s in from Argentina. The setting from the show stunning as it was the oldest theater in Athens and under the Parthenon and Acropolis.

Tonight I watch the glow from a sinking sun and contemplate just what fish grilled in olive oil to pick, the wine a choice from years ago when I traveled the islands here. The boats bob and I sway to music from the itouch. The travel styles polar opposite, both a part of my life, I lift a glass to you all!

Life on Hyrda

The sea is a way of life in Greece and Athens is its terminus, hundreds of ships come and go. In about an hour and a half you can get to the island of Hydra soak in island life. The town has fishing boats and a harbor side that will delight the hardest core sun worshipper. Donkeys and fishermen seem to be the only working creatures inhabiting the island all the rest seem as if in a state of island bliss.
