Day 3- bikes, beach, gyros

Since the events of last night in the city were to carry on into today, we decided to stay away from the city and explore on our bikes. We decided to head south towards Sounia but ended up on a beach in Agios Dimitrious. We didn't pick the best roads, however we are safe and it wasn't that bad. We used Leoforos Souniou highway, which if you have ever been to California, is similar to the PCH- pacific coast highway.



We saw a few beaches off the highway and ended up just stopping at one as we packed beach stuff in our bags and carried them with us as we road. Beauitful beaches, scenery, and clean/clear water. What a delight with a water temp of about 75 deg and current air temp of about 90deg with very low himidity.


On the way back, we found a Greek grill- Zaxos in Vouliagmeni. We ordered a chicken gyros pita and a pork gyros pita and of course bread was brought out to the table. To our surprise, we were not charged for the bread and the bill only came out to 4.40 euros. It has been the cheapest food we have eaten here so far and enjoyed it so much that we ordered 6 more gyros to have for dinner and for our journey on the ferry to the island of Mykonos tomorrow.
Yummy yummy!
