Прекрасная Греция Beautiful Greece

Beautiful Greece is remembered on snowy winter evenings. Halkidiki. Gerakina beach hotel. I was there in early October two years ago. It would seem that October in Russia is not a swimming season, but then in Russia, and this is Greece.... the sea was invigorating at first and warm when you swim a few meters, gentle and affectionate, no waves and storms. We must have been lucky with the weather. And I didn’t have to be bored with the company, I met girls from Tolyatti and Oktyabrsk, Galina, Olga, Larisa, hello! We often remember our fun bachelorette party! Our bungalow was located not far from the coast, so, from the terrace, immediately to the beach, however, in the mornings, jackets were thrown over swimsuits. The sea from the bungalow is fifty meters away. The path ran along a small golf course and a beautiful olive grove. Among the low olive trees grew old spreading ones, on the branches of which nimble squirrels jumped. The air was filled with the scent of pine. It is very beautiful and unusual. Beach. Palms. Olive trees. Pines. And velvet season. No more sweltering summer heat, but warm and comfortable. On the beach since early morning, except for Russian tourists, there is no one. The most daring start the morning swims, the rest watch and also gather their courage, like the morning coolness. . . but, after a few minutes, they take off their jackets and go into the sea. . . The time before lunch is flying by! Closer to noon, a few Germans come up, begin to play volleyball on the sly, laugh out loud, but they are not in a hurry to swim, like we do. . . They probably think it's cold to swim. And we are very good! We had dinner right there, on the beach, in a restaurant. Something very unpretentious, now I don’t remember the menu, I remember only a few types of wonderful cheeses. Then again the beach and the sea. . . in our cheerful company we passed along the beach past beautiful houses right in the rocks hanging over the waves, along the way we came across wild beaches where we stopped to relax and swim, there were hedgehogs near the shore, so you need to be careful entering the water. You can write a lot about the October Sea near Halkidiki, but it’s better to go back there again!
