Summer In Greece

This year we went to Greece for our summer vacation.

We flew to Athens from New York City through the Paris airport. When we arrived in Athens, we looked for our suitcases on the baggage claim, but after the last suitcase came out, none of the suitcases was ours. We went to the lost baggage and the man said "Your suitcases are in Paris." Those suitcases where filled up with clothes! I felt very worried because I thought I would be left with no clean clothes! So we told him our address and they sent our suitcases the next day.

 After a few days we went by train to Thessaloniki to see my dad's mom, dad, brother and our cousins. We ate lunch at a fish restaurant called "Miami". We stayed with my dad's brother in Chalkidiki for a few days.For the other 4 days we stayed in Thessaloniki. I was very happy that I spent some time with my relatives. After that we went back to Athens by train.

A few weeks after that we went to an island named Ikaria to see a friend of my dad's, named Vangelis.We stayed in a little house for 30 euro a night. It was very nice house with a big yard and a beautiful view of the island. It was also very quiet, calm, sunny countryside. But, then we went to a different hotel a day before we returned to Athens.
