Greece


Amfissa is a small town in central Greece; we spent an evening and morning there after heading south from Thessaloniki. We rolled into town after dark, greeted by a city square lit up by all sorts of Christmas lights. Because Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas on January 6th or 7th and New Years on January 14,  we had a vacation peppered with all sorts of holiday symbols.

We spent the next morning hiking around the remains of an 11th century fortress that overlooked the town. It was a great chance for the kids to run, climb, play, jump, throw, and hide. We also stocked up on supplies for the upcoming New Year: Susan found a grocery store that took Visa!

Looking out our hotel balcony, we had a great view of the fortress overlooking the town.
Amfissa's red roofs look fantastic from the heights of the cliffs

Breck climbed the walls, the kids found tons of 'caves' to explore, and we all enjoyed a relaxing, low-key morning.

On the way out of town, we came across our first olive grove. We took a few minutes to let the kids explore the trees that "opas" grow on.
