welcome to methana?

So I've been in Athens since Sunday. Work was suppose to start on Monday, but we actually got the day off and attempted to visit one of the islands in the saronic gulf. tip of the day travellers - make sure you double check the stop before you exit the ferry. We wanted to go to poros, but accidentially disembarked at methana. Personally after visiting methana for 45 minutes (enough time for the ferry we were riding to go to poros and turn around and pick us up again) I'm not sure exactly why they would even have a stop at this town - which was small and dingy. The only plus is they had a number of seaside cafes which served cold beers.

After our expensive trip to get a couple beers was over it was time for dinner. before selecting a dining establishment we decided to first visit a small old-fashioned distillery in the plaka area of athens called brettos for a bit of ouzo. excellent choice and highly recommended to those who travel to athens.

we had dinner at a roof top restaurant also in the plaka area near the acropolis - which i have yet to visit because I promised to wait for kevin - note here how nice of a girlfriend i am. I feasted on moussaka - which is essentially a greek version of lasgana, however instead of pasta it has egg plant. both the food and the view were excellent.



all in all it was the most enjoyable day of work I've ever had...
