Lake Vouliagmeni

On a Saturday morning, after sleeping around 5-6 hours, I woke up to my alarm and tried to text to people that whether or not they were going to the trip to the city of Vouliagmeni. Of course my shitty sim card cosmote What's up didn't work so I couldn't get in touch with anyone! The meeting point was at noon in Akropolis metro station and I decided that I will go even though if all the people I knew wouldn't be going, so I hit the shower at 11.15 and I was really in a hurry. Just when I rushed out the door I got a message from a German Nina who lived near my place that she was going and would meet Maggie next door at her place. So I left with the girls and we were sure that there wouldn't be that many people since most were so drunk the last night at the party. But at the bus stop there were around 40 of us going! We all hopped to the bus E22 going to the lake and when after riding around 5-10 minutes someone of us shouted: everybody out! ..we were going to the wrong direction.. :D On the second try to the right direction this time, we had to wait an other 30 minutes before the bus left. The bus ride felt like it took for ever!! It was around 60 minutes or so and the bus was really full and it was so hot in there.

Finally we arrived there and the scenery was beautiful! The sea and the sun!! The Lake Vouliagmeni was really close to the bus stop so we walked there and it cost 8€ to get in. We didn't have our bikinis with us and the lake was rather small so we figured that we would get bored quickly and also we were starving! So me, Maggie and Nina decided not to pay to get to the lake, instead we wanted to walk along the sea and find a place to eat. We found this restaurant which was really cool, all the prices were half if you took what you ordered with you! Perfect for us! We went to sit down to the rocks above the sea. It felt like it was June aslo the temperatu was around +20C! People swimming and playing watersports. Perfect lunch!

After eating we wanted to go try the water so we found a place to get closer to the water. When we got into the mood of the water, sun and the beach we went to the beach! The beach was full of Greek people! The girls went to swim in their underwear and we took sun on the beach for around 3 hours. At some point we were joined by, also an Erasmus, Andrea from Milan and his two friends who were visiting him. :)

Andrea suggested us that we would climb to the mountain which is above the lake to see the view, the sea and the sunset! Of course we agreed on that! :) The hill that we climbed was really steep but we didn't mind because we really wanted to see the view. On the top we spotted a road and benches and stuff there. There actually would have been stairs leading up.. :D We spent time there taking pictures and enjoying our stay! Then we headed to the bus stop to wait for the bus. Out of all the Erasmus people who were there we were the last ones to leave for home. :)

There would have been this HUGE house party in the evening but we decided no to go since we were really tired! Great day and I was so happy I decided to go !! :)
