Snorkeling and Ritsa Beach

Today we set an alarm for 7:30 because we wanted to explore some beaches. We probably would have slept longer. We had breakfast at the hotel, and it was good. Then we headed out around 10. The drive to Kardamyli where Rista Beach was, was crazy! Much more elevated than I thought it would be. Lucas said “it looks like the Yosemite!” We missed the beach and ended up following a van to an area you could rent a boat or go snorkeling. The guy told us where the beach was, but he also told us we could snorkel there. So, we parked and walked down the rocky beach. Lucas got right in and snorkeled. He did awesome. He was swimming so well. We saw some fish and cool rocks. Then we went to Ritsa Beach. This beach was all large pebbles or rocks. It was so calm. We got 2 chairs and an umbrella for 10 euro. Then we snorkeled. Lucas loved it! The rocks formations in the water here were awesome. You could swim through some tunnel-like formations. We saw a lot of fish. Then we had some sandwiches for lunch. Don got a massage on the beach because his neck and shoulder were bothering him. Then we went back out and snorkeled more. We went further but then the waves were coming in, and it was getting more rough. A dark cloud was showing rain was coming. So, we packed up around 4:30 and drove back. The drive was crazy at times with the rain. We got back to the hotel around 5:30. Then we got showered and went to Secada Restaurant around 7. Initially I made a reservation here for 6:30 for all 10 of us but it didn’t work out. Only Delilah made it. We got back around 8:30 and went to bed.
