Short but sweet, that's how I'd describe our mini vacation in June. It lasted only few days, but it was enough to recharge our batteries. The weather was not the best (clouds and rains almost every day all over Greece), the sea was still cold, yet it didn't ruin anything...
We were spending mornings by the sandy beach, playing by the water and soaking up the sun. Afternoon hours were dedicated to the hotel pools- there was a mini one perfect for Stefan. Evenings were for the walks by the sea...
Kratko ali slatko, tako bih opisala nas mini odmor u junu mesecu. Trajao je samo par dana, ali sasvim dovoljno da napunimo baterije. Vreme nije bilo najbolje, kise i oblaci skoro svaki dan po citavoj teritoriji Grcke, more je i dalje bilo prohladno, ali to nam nista nije pokvarilo....
Provodili smo jutra na pescanoj plazi, igrajuci se pored vode i upijajuci sunce. Popodnevni casovi su bili rezervisani za hotelske bazene- bio je i jedan mini bazen savrsen za Stefana. Veceri su bili za setnje pored obale...
Although I have been living in Greece for years, it was the first time for me to stay at some hotel/resort near Athens. I visited Glyfada a few times, but it was January month.
This time we stayed at "Golden Coast hotel & bungalows", closed-type 4-star hotel at Marathon (Marathonas) beach in Nea Makri. This resort has its own beach, central hotel and a lot of bungalows, 3-4 pools (one for small kids), bars, restaurants, one shop. Most of the tourists are French and Italians. There is a French animation team- they had different programs every day, with the focus on the fitness ones. It's truly good for a family vacation, especially for the small kids as there are no cars running around.
Iako vec godinama zivim u Grckoj, do sad se nije zadesilo da odmaram u nekom letovalistu u Atini. U Glifadi sam bila nekoliko puta, ali u januaru mesecu.
Ovog puta se zadesilo da odsednemo u "Golden Coast Hotel & Bungalows", hotelu sa 4 zvezdice zatvorenog tipa na Maraton (Maratonas) plazi u mestu Nea Makri. Ovaj hotel ima svoju plazu, centralni hotel i puno bungalova, 3-4 bazena (jedan za decu), barove, restorane, prodavnicu. Vecina turista su Francuzi i Italijani. Postoji francuski animacioni tim- imali su razlicite programe tokom citavog dana, sa fokusom na fitness. Odmaraliste je zaista dobro za porodicno letovanje, narocito za malu decu jer nema kola koja jure okolo.
We had a bungalow, with one bedroom, one bathroom, kitchen and living room with two sofas, so it was enough for the 4 of us. I can't speak about the food at the hotel (even though I didn't hear nice things for this year) as we were making our own meals. There are 4-5 big supermarkets outside of the hotel, reachable by the car or on foot.
Mi smo imali bungalov, sa jednom spavacom sobom, kupatilom, kuhinjom i dnevnom sobom sa dve sofe, tako da je to bilo sasvim dovoljno za nas cetvoro. Ne mogu da pricam o hrani u hotelu (iako nisam cula nista dobro za ovu godinu) zato sto smo mi sami spremali nase obroke. Postoji 4-5 vecih supermarketa u blizini hotela koja su dostupna kolima, ili cak peske.
Yes, it's completely different when you travel with little ones. Definitely it's not easy but I always go with the flow, plus I'm always prepared. I'm used to being alone with my kid. We had our program, my mum and her friend had their own, but we spent enough time all together. All in all it was one nice summer experience, with plenty of memories and pictures!:)
Da, potpuno je drugacije letovati i putovati sa detetom/decom. Definitivno nije lako ali ja uvek "idem sa tokom", plus uvek sam pripremljena. Navikla sam da budem sama sa svojiim detetom. Mi smo imali svoj program, mama i njen prijatelj svoj, ali smo proveli dovoljno vremena zajedno. Sve u svemu jedno lepo letnje iskustvo, sa dosta uspomena i slika.:)

SKIATHOS, impressively green (think of lush pine and olive trees) and the most charming island of the Sporades... Crystal clear blue waters, golden sand, some of the most beautiful beaches of the Aegean, archaeological sites. The port in the main town full of yachts and boats, numerous restaurants and taverns, variety of shops, clubs, bars, cafes; here you can find anything and everything! The easiest ways to come are by plane (island has the airport) or to take ferry boat (mostly flying dolphins) from Volos city. Of course the best time to visit the island is summer season, especially July and August months, and for a quieter (but equally pleasing) vacation you might want to choose June or September.
Below you can see the most beautiful beaches worth visiting, best daily trips by boat around the island, hotel recommendation, photos of Skiathos town, plus one video featuring island's beaches. Browse and read everything or just what specifically interest you, and then start packing!;) I personally wouldn't mind visiting Skiathos island one more time and exploring the unexplored!:)
SKIJATOS, zadivljujuce zeleno (pomislite samo na bujne redove borova i maslinjaka) i najsarmantnije ostrvo Sporada… Kristalno cisto plavo more, zlatan pesak, neke od najlepsih plaza Egeja, arheoloska nalazista. Luka u glavnom gradicu prepuna jahti i brodica, bezbroj restorana i taverni, raznovrsne radnje, klubovi, barovi, kafici, nema sta nema! Najlakse je doci ili avionom (postoji aerodrom na Skijatosu) ili do Volosa pa onda trajektom/delfinom. Naravno najbolje vreme za posetu je letnja sezona, narocito jul/avgust, a za mirniji (ali podjednako sadrzajan) odmor mozda je bolje izabrati jun i septembar.
U nastavku mozete pogledati najlepse plaze koje zaista vredi posetiti, najbolji dnevni izleti brodicima oko ostrva, preporuku za hotel, slike Skijatos gradica, plus jedan video klip sa plazama. Pregledajte i procitajte natenane sve ili samo ono sto vas specificno zanima, a onda krenite da se pakujete!;) Ja licno ne bih imala nista protiv da posetim jos jednom ostrvo Skijatos i istrazim neistrazeno!:)

Over the last few years Parga became truly popular! Each year there are more and more tourists who not only visit this place but return to it. Vibrant and relatively calm Parga is located on the northwest mainland of Greece, between cities Preveza and Igumenitsa. Secluded bay of Ionian sea gives it another vibe, it reminds me of lovely and romantic towns of Amalfi coast in Italy...
Small and adorable shops, narrow streets, traditional taverns and pretty restaurants with international cuisine, olive and orange trees, wonderful beaches with golden sand and crystal clear water, good hotels and numerous rooms/houses to rent, camping options...
See below the recap of all places I visited during my short stay in Parga, and some travel tips if you plan to visit Parga! One thing is for sure- you won't regret if you choose this destination!

Tokom poslednjih nekoliko godina Parga je postala izrazito popularna! Svake godine sve je vise i vise turista koji ne samo da posecuju ovo mesto nego mu se iznova vracaju. Zivopisna i relativno mirna Parga je locirana na severno-zapadnoj teritoriji Grcke, izmedju gradova Preveza i Igumenica. Izolovan zaliv Jonskog mora daje mestu drugaciji sarm, nesto sto me podseca na ljupke i romanticne primorske gradice obale Amalfi u Italiji…
Male i sarmantne radnjice, uske ulicice, tradicionalne taverne i lepi restorani sa internacionalnom kuhinjom, maslinjaci i stabla pomorandze, divne plaze sa zlatnim peskom i kristalno cistom vodom, dobri hoteli i brojne sobe/kuce za iznajmljivanje, mogucnost kampovanja…
Pogledajte u nastavku pregled svih lokacija koje sam obisla tokom mog kratkog boravka u Pargi, i pokoji savet ako planirate da posetite Pargu. Jedna stvar je sigurna- necete zazaliti ako se odlucite za ovu destinaciju!

I wrote about captivating turquoise waters of Sarakiniko beach in Parga in this post, and today I'm sharing with you the additional dose of that beauty! If you feel a bit nostalgic about summer, you can always check my YouTube channel- there are soooo many summerish travel videos!
Pisala sam o predivnoj tirkiznoj vodi Sarakiniko plaze u Pargi u ovom postu, a danas delim sa vama dodatnu dozu te lepote! Ako osecate blagu nostalgiju za letom, uvek mozete skoknuti do mog YouTube kanala gde cete pronaci bezbroj letnjih video snimaka!
Sarakiniko beach is something that you must must muuuust
see if you ever visit Parga (if you've already been in Parga, I hope that you've visited this beach)! Ok, to be
honest, beach as a beach (although very finely organized) is nothing
special, but the color of the water is a fascinating, enchanting, mesmerizingly turquoise- just the way I love it!
Sarakiniko
beach is situated some 12km from Parga, and perhaps the easiest
way to get there is by the boat. The boat starts at 11am from the small yet cute port of Parga, and returns in the late afternoon hours...
Sarakiniko plaza je nesto sto morate morate morateeee videti ako se ikada nadjete u Pargi (ako ste vec bili u Pargi, nadam se da ste posetili ovu plazu)! Ok, da se ne lazemo, plaza kao plaza (iako vrlo fino organizovana) nije nista specijalno, ali boja vode je fascinantna, ocaravajuca, hipnotisuce tirkizna- hm bas onakva kakvu ja volim!
Sarakiniko plaza je udaljena nekih 12km od same Parge, a mozda je najlakse doci brodicem. Krece se u 11h iz male ali slatke luke Parge, a vraca se u kasnim podnevnim casovima...
Wishing you a lovely day with a new travel video!:) I wrote about Lichnos beach (located close to Parga) in this post, and about luxurious "Lichnos beach hotel & suites" here. And now you can see how both beach and hotel look like! p.s. For more travel videos, I invite you to subscribe to my YouTube channel!
Zelim vam prijatan dan sa novim travel snimkom!:) Pisala sam o Lihnos plazi (koja se nalazi blizu Parge) u ovom postu, a o luksuznom "Lichnos beach hotel & suites" ovde. A sad mozete videti "uzivo" kako i plaza i hotel izgledaju! p.s. Za vise travel klipova, pozivam vas da se prikljucite mom YouTube kanalu!
