Today we woke up at 7 to get an early start for some snorkeling. We had breakfast at the hotel and was on the road a little before 9. We made it to Foneas Beach a bit before 10. It was absolutely beautiful. The rock formations were incredible, and the water was so blue and clear. We immediately snorkeled. There were many fish to see in the rock formations. There were also little caves to explore. The best thing we saw was a big lionfish that Lucas spotted! Around noon we went back to Kardamyli for lunch. Don found a place called Kiki’s Taverna. It was so cute. Two older women were running the place. There was no set menu, she just told us our options. I got the lemon chicken, Lucas got the meatballs, and Don got the rabbit onion dish. We also got saganaki as an appetizer. Everything was so delicious. One of our best meals.
After lunch we went to Kitries Beach. The drive there was crazy. The roads were so narrow, and the elevation changed a lot. Once we parked a man told us where we parked was for his restaurant so we would have to eat there later. We got some chairs and a table by the beach for 7 euro. I also got a freddo espresso. Then we snorkeled. We swam near the rocks and around them to the sandy beach on the other side. We saw so many hermit crabs, crabs, and fish. We also saw a starfish and a weird centipede looking thing. This was a fun place to snorkel. I got stung by something though. I never saw anything but on my stomach, there were red marks and it stung for several hours. Once we were done, we went back to the restaurant. It was called Kitro Beach Bar. The waiter loved Lucas, especially when he ordered fried anchovy and fried calamari. He gave him a high five. The food was good. When I paid the waiter even gave us each little ice cream bars. Our beach day was awesome. When we got back to the hotel we got cleaned up and started packing. Lucas said he wanted a real dinner, so we went to a restaurant right next to our hotel. I got carbonara, Lucas got spaghetti, and Don got a pork chop. It was pretty good.
