My Trip To Kefalonia


Recently I have been to Kefalonia, which is an island off Greece, with my family for two weeks. We stayed at the Astra Village Resort. This is one of the reasons that I haven't posted in quite some time, oops. 
Here are a few of the pictures that I took on this trip.

Roadtrip
For part of the holiday, 3 days, we rented a car and decided to have a kind of roadtrip around the island. The first place on the list was Sami, The Melissani Caves, and Agia Efimia. This photo was taken from the car window on the way hence the black shape at the top.

This was also taken from the car on the way to Sami.

Melissani Caves
The first place we went to was The Melissani Caves because it was the main place that I wanted to go. The Melissani caves run underground and the land above it has collapsed to form and kind of island. 


At one part the gondolier takes you through a small gap into a darker part with the mound of collapsed rock. These were the stalactites that hung from around the cave.

The water was super clear which made it look even prettier.






The water is super blue.







Agia Efimia
After the Melissani Caves we went to Agia Efimia to have a look around.





There were a lot of boats in Agia Efimia but there were a lot more yachts and boats that rent for a million a week in Sami's port.


Assos
On the third day we travelled to the top of the island and went to Assos then Fiskardo. If you like pretty villages then I would definitely recommend Assos because it was so cute and colourful.





This fort was at the top of a big hill, we only got about a quarter of the way up and then came back down.




Fiskardo
In Fiskardo I saw this fire escape decorated so cute that I just had to take a photo.



From what I saw the sea in Kefalonia is super clear almost everywhere.

Sunsets
A lot of the sunsets that I was were more red toned. One night even the moon turned red.

Places I want to Travel to



I have an endless list of places that I want to travel to in my lifetime. Here are a few of them.

Amsterdam, Netherlands


Ever since I watched The Fault In Our Stars I have wanted to go to Amsterdam, but orange tulips, drink champagne, and sail in one of those boats. My older cousin also went when he went inter-railing and he said it was amazing. One of my friends called Lucy has just recently been for her birthday and she said that she loved it and that we should go together sometime as I would love it.

Iceland


One of the main reasons that I want to go to Iceland is because I have always wanted to see the Northern Lights and Iceland is a great spot to see them. Also I mean how beautiful is it?!

Thailand


Thailand is one of those places that looks like an explorer would be there discovering something new. It looks like an amazing places to see a new culture and to get away from your old life which at a lot of times I need.

Santorini, Greece


Santorini looks absolutely gorgeous plus I absolutely adore Greece  and go there quite a lot as a yearly holiday with my family.

Prague, Czech Republic


Prague is one of those places where it is a bit random of why I want to go.  The main reason is because of how beautiful it looks. I mean does that picture not prove it.

Lake Como, Italy

When I went to Italy last year I went by plane whilst my cousins went on a road trip there and stayed at Lake Como and it looks beautiful. I would love to go on the road trip that they went on because my cousin took photos and they looked amazing.

Brooklyn, New York City

I have recently been to New York with my school but we mainly stayed in Manhattan so we didn't get to venture into the beautifully hipster place that is Brooklyn. We almost did get to go but plans were changed and we couldn't. Is it too much to ask to go to a cool coffee shop and walk around like 'Lonely Boy'. (GG points if you know who I'm on about.)
