Hello everyone!!

Today is a very important day in Greece—the celebration of Prophet Elias. Many of you probably don’t know what that means, but in Greece there is a celebration for your name day. This is a bigger celebration than your birthday here. Having said that, my mom and dad are visiting and my dad’s name is Elias. We made a trip to the Prophitis Elias church that is up in the mountains. As we drove there we saw amazing views and also stumbled upon a great restaurant called Platanos. Let me tell you, it was absolutely breathtaking and our waiter Panos was great! The view was of the whole Skiathos town. See for yourself…

Then we made our way to Elias Bay beach. Little did we know we were going to be driving on a windy dirt road for 10 minutes with views that I’ve never imagined before. The beach was gorgeous as well and visitors had their privacy.
