Kallithea = beautiful view

This past Saturday was the most beautiful day I've had in Greece. It was just like a postcard. We took a bus to Kallithea which is in Halkidiki. Halkidiki is the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. It is completely different from at home. Instead of flat land the sea is nestled between mountains. Instead of white sand the beach is lined with shell, sea glass, pebbles and ancient rock that the tide has worn at for centuries. Because of this and the ridiculously beautiful weather the water was as clear as the Bahamas. All day I loved to be able to run and dive into the teal blue water and float or throw around a "futbol."

This picture doesn't quite do it justice... but in the morning this is exactly how it looked. Around noon what I thought were clouds popped up on the horizon. But instead of clouds these are really mountains of the other Halkidiki legs that drop down.
