Unlike my plan to arrive in the morning, it was almost 3 PM by the time I got here. Still, today's schedule was just lounging by the beach all day, so I arrived with a relaxed mind. Just like my relaxed state of mind, I'm going to keep this post easy and just upload photos without much text.

This guy is a really good swimmer. I thought he was crossing the Mediterranean.

I don't think the previous photos showed just how clean the water is.

I thought they were shooting a magazine spread.

The sun is so bright that even a little backlight makes the photo come out pitch black. A shot that clearly shows I don't know how to take pictures.

It would be so nice to spend the day tanning in a place like this when I get older. There is no country for old men, but this seems like it could be a sea for old men. Of course, it's an expensive neighborhood, so the fact that you need money remains unchanged.

After drinking beer and hanging out in the sea, the sun was already starting to set. B decided to spend the day with me and head to the airport together tomorrow, while A went back to Athens to meet an older friend she met on a travel forum. After that, we looked around downtown Glyfada, grabbed dinner at Pasiphae, had a beer in the hotel lobby, and went to sleep.

For the last day, I think it passed by nicely without any lingering regrets or overwhelming excitement.

Oh? Was that your house?
