Day # 6

After a great breakfast at the hotel, we headed out on the bus for a ride around the beautiful town of Thessaloniki. We met up with our tour guide and visited beautiful sights around the town. We saw places such as The White Tower, which we returned to later in the day, the town center, and a balcony view of the whole city





After the tour from the bus of the stunning city, we departed for free time around the city. We went to a little local cafe for some sweets and for a bit of a walking break





Next, we went to a local market. Then, we departed for the White Tower, with some shopping along the way. The White Tower is filled with so much history, with a gorgeous view at the top.


After all the free time we all went to a delicious dinner where we had a dinner of moussaka, Greek salad, and some zucchini fritters. For dessert afterwards we had 2 different pastries. After dinner we had some more free time then later net back up at the statue and went back to the hotel.

Day 1- Long day of traveling!

* I am having trouble with the pictures showing up, going to try a different device tomorrow, stay tuned * Figured it out- enjoy! Well we started off our journey trying to get out of all the snow we had up in the Conifer area, which for some was more than others. We all made it though, which was pretty impressive. We had our first leg of the journey from Denver to Munich, which was 9 hours and forty minutes. Kids did great! We had our first casualty, and someone left their bag on the plane. The chaperone had to go outside the airport with the student in order to get it, then go back in through security (their group is not pictured because they were not together 🤣), all ended up fine. Then we had our last leg of the trip from Munich to Athens, which was another 2 hours and an additional time change. To say that everyone is delirious is an understatement, but I do think that everyone slept on that flight. Once we landed in Athens, we met our tour director Eva and we headed to the ho...

Day#2

  We started our morning early by taking a short walk to the beach. We watched the sunrise at 6:30am. Coming straight from the beach we ate a big breakfast to prepare for the day. We then got on the bus to head over to the Olympic Stadium; everyone got out to take pictures with their groups. We drove to the Acropolis, learning about different buildings and scenes along the way Once we got to Acropolis we took a guided tour of the temples and learned tons of cool things about Ancient Greece. We used our free time to explore Athens with our groups and buy fun souvenirs. For lunch it was super exciting to eat real greek food, which was a great way to learn more about European culture We met back up with the group to go to the Acropolis Museum. The artifacts were amazing, but unfortunately photography was not permitted. After this, we had more free time and our group decided to get smoothies and take pictures. We ate a yummy dinner all together at a nice restaurant and went back to the...
