MY TRAVEL TO THE GREEK ISLAND


10/10/18

8:40 pm

Visiting the Greek Island was one of the activities that we did in our travel to Greece. We visited Hydra, Poros, and Aegina. 

We took the ship in the morning, at 7 o'clock. At first, the journey was a bit uncomfortable because of all the tourist and the bad weather. We were a little seasick because of the waves. Later, the bad weather passed and we went to the deck of the sip to see the beautiful scenery. 

Our first stop was Hydra; It was a very curious island because people do not drive there. They could only move through the island by water taxis and on donkey back. We did not have a tour guide so we started asking the people of the traditional shops about some curiosities of their island. We spent the rest of the time walking through the streets and taking photos. The houses there were very similar to the Mikonos' houses. 

Our second stop was Poros; Poros was the most touristic island of the three that we visited. There were many nature and open spaces. We visited some museums because that island is also called Poseidon's Island. The most beautiful thing for me about the island was a cliff where you could see all the sea. It was breathtaking. 

The last one was Aegina; It has a swimming area and the biggest port of the three islands. Some of my classmates swam there despite the bad weather. This island is very famous because of the pistachios. We tasted the pistachio ice cream and it was delicious, to be honest. We decided to go sightseeing through the island but a storm started and we left. 

In conclusion, it is very curious that despite the same region, the three islands are very different from each other. However, the three of them were astonishing.
