Christmas in Greece......

Well, our quick five-day trip to Greece and not to mention my first ‘Greek Christmas experience’ was something special. Although somewhat short we both still enjoyed spending time with Grigoria’s family at their warm Kalavryta home.

Given the proximity of the Kalavryta ski centre (less than 20kms away) the village had a distinctive yuppie sky village feel to it. In September I was the only tourist and now I felt like a local (minus the language barrier of course).

Our Christmas Day mainly involved unwrapping the great gifts (from Santa) and eating like there was no tomorrow, then of course a well-deserved siesta! The more I’m in Greece the more I get used to these afternoon naps; it’s what I did when I was small child!

Boxing day involved more resting in front of the open fire, walking off some that Christmas pudding and then replacing it with more…

Wednesday & Thursday we spent in Athens with Grigoria’s parents, which was very nice before heading back to London later on Thursday evening.
