Finally, almost after a month of intensive negotiations between a company of 5 people, everything is arranged for our short vacations on Skiathos. Skiathos is a city and a small island in the Aegean Sea belonging to Greece (…where else). Rooms to let, bus and ferry tickets are booked and the only thing that keep Thanasis, Michalis, Georgia, Stathis, Ifigenia and me, from the island is these 10 days that we will have to wait for that…

I’m really happy for two reasons. Firstly, the obvious one of going on summer vacations in a really nice place with sea, sun and a temperature almost 25 degrees higher than the temperature I have been experiencing for the last 2139412734 months in trendy cosmopolitan beautiful centre-of-the-universe mouldy London! It’s a big difference going from 15 degrees to 40 degrees. I don’t know how shocking this difference will be though! It sounds very strange to me that I won’t have to carry an umbrella or my beloved TOPSHOP trendy jacket (lol) when going out! But of course, I will survive!

Skiathos is a great island and in my opinion has one of the most amazing beaches in Greece called Koukounaries. I had visited the island 6 years before, if I remember correctly, with a completely different synthesis of a friendly company and I still remember that beach! Moreover, Skiathos is by general acceptance the “greenest” Greek island of the Aegean Sea and that makes it even more interesting. Night-life at the island is not disappointing at all. However, I am not sure if I care about that now You see, the last couple of months in London have been more than interesting regarding night-life, partying, clubbing, drinking… On the other hand, greek summer night-life is great and I am looking forward to go out when I’ll arrive to Greece. So Athens will cover this need better than any other place in Greece (I believe).

The second reason for being happy is that after 2-3 years I am going for second time on vacations with my friends from Patras. Unfortunately, not all of them will be there (why John, Mixaloybas, Alf, mmmmmmmmmmm ?) but a lot of effort has been put into arranging these short vacations with 5 of them… I don’t want to imagine the same process with all of them

Anyway, my summerish mood is already very strong (in contrast to my “sit down and do your dissertation” mood), so I’ll close this post with a few photos from Skiathos… to inspire a similar mood to those of you that won’t go on vacations in a summer destination or that have to stay in cool leading attractive all-this-happen-here London.
