Varkiza Beach outside Athens

We went out on an adventure today!  We decided to go to the beach like locals...walk to subway about 10  min.  Take subway (the red line) to end of the line, 30 min.  Take bus 171 to Varkiza beach, about 40 min.  Walk to beach, 5 minutes.

It was a very warm day and we left about 9am after a wonderful breakfast of butter beans brought over by the airbnb hostess,  scrambled eggs with fresh mushrooms that Les made.

The beach was wonderful,  we paid 6 euros each to get in but I had a bad experience with a pickpocket the other day, Les had a woman on the subway  try to take his wallet the other day, so we were happy to pay for security.

What a  great day we had. Water was perfect and there was sand which was HEAVEN to me!!!



It is amazing how organized this beach is!  Each umbrella has a number and a huge menu.  Folks decide what they want and it gets delivered to them.  Now that is a vacation hahaha



Now, this morning as I went outside,  a pigeon flew off and look what I noticed in the dirt:






So I quickly went back inside and here is a photo taken moments later when she had already returned.



She spent the whole day there it seems,  but this evening she flew off. I guess the temp was OK for the egg and Mom had to eat!
