Rambling Around Litochoro and Surrounds
By Helen Grubner. Filed in Uncategorized |
After Tuesday’s rain, awoke the following morning to a wonderful freshness in the air… perfect for meandering about town. Walking down to the main Square and beyond… I couldn’t help but look back at Golna peak towering above me. To think that I walked all the way up there on Monday… aided by sheer determination and stubbornness.
Made my way down to the Enipea River where I stopped for coffee… befriended a local feline or rather, she befriended me. From there, walking on a little further I came upon a path leading up the river canyon. I followed that path, eventually reaching a point where I felt the terrain was becoming a little too risky for me. Returned as far as a bridge crossing to the other side, up a steep incline and back to civilization. I had discovered a place of great beauty… mother nature at her best!
Returned today to the same cafe… sadly no sign of my feline friend. More meanderings, however, nowhere did I find as beautiful as yesterday. Tomorrow I must move on… bus to Thessaloniki then another bus to Alexandroupoli, a journey of around 400km. I will stay overnight in Alexandroupoli before catching a ferry on Saturday to the island of Samothraki in the northern Aegean Sea.
