Wednesday evening walk on the Greek coast

in Wednesday Walk4 months ago

Hello everyone and hello to all members of the Wednesday Walk community. I hope you are doing great.

I spent the last 10 days in Stavros, a Greek town that I visit every year. And although I am there every year, every stay there is unique and brings new memories and impressions.

A walk by the sea in the evening is soothing and pleasant and I always want it to last as long as possible every day. There is something special about it when you look at the calm sea especially when you are walking with loved ones.

We started our walk around 9 in the evening and it was still not dark. My children explored the shore, and I rested my eyes looking at the expanse of water.

We saw a lot of boats in the harbor.

Fresh fish can be bought here early every morning when hardworking fishermen arrive. Then you can feel the lively atmosphere of this town.

I wanted to see the sea from above, so we continued our walk towards the old town. We walked along the hilly streets and came to a small square with a couple of taverns where the elderly locals sit.

We continued our walk towards the viewpoint from which the whole town can be seen.

And there we enjoyed the view.

Then we walked a little more by the sea and saw a tavern from 1936. So long ago.

I imagined what life was like here back then. Did people look forward to the sea and food as much as today and enjoyed the evening moments? Sometimes it seems to me that today there are fewer joys because there is too much of everything. Still, little things make life, like this walk.
