Naxos Island to Corinth via Athens airport
20 October
- When a 14 year old leaves their favorite VT hat at the beach overnight AND it is 25 minutes away…you go get it, hoping it is still there and not washed out to the Aegean Sea. (CHEERS from the beach..his hat was waiting for him)
- The above adventure allowed us to revisit Hawaii Beach in sunlight.
- Prior to leaving the island we grabbed some snacks at the local grocery market.
- We arrived at Naxos Airport in time to catch our flight black to the mainland of Greece.
- The following sets of pictures may look amazing, just know real life is messy and we experienced messiness and unmet expectations driving across Greece toward Corinth.
- Sousaki volcano is dormant and smells of sulfur.
- The Corinth Canal spans roughly 4 miles in length across the Grecian isthmus. It is roughly 27 yards wide (think a swimming pool length), 170 feet tall and contains 26 feet of water for ships. The initial idea of this canal dates back to 6th century BC. Technology and explosives finally caught up to the idea, resulting in its completion in 1893 after dynamite was invented by Alfred Nobel, the Swedish chemist and engineer in Northern Germany.
- We crossed the bridge several times yet never took a photo. Below was taken by Z as we flew home a few days later.
