Greece

After Cyprus we sailed towards Greece. The original plan was to go to Athens,. but there was a storm and we were diverted to go towards Katakolon, a town further west. There the weather was fine and we had an other excursion.
We took a drive in the country to visit Olympia, where the first Olympic games were held. We had Ipads with us, so at each old site, we could look at our Ipad and see what it looked like back in the day.
After the Olympic games we went to " Magna Cretia" a family owned vineyard and olive grove. We tasted many different olive oils and then had a fabulous ( and unexpected) BBQ lunch. I don't think it was in the plan but very welcome.
We also were given a tour of their orchard and after lunch there was Greek dancing , done by the staff, and later brought us into it as well.
It was very emotional, as the last time I was in Greece was 40 years ago.
Here are the photos of this days trip.
