Summer Part I: Greece

Weeeell. I'm back in Singapore now!

The first part of my summer is, sadly, over :( It was truly an amazing experience for me! Being able to spend six weeks in another country for an internship, meeting new people and trying new things. I will cherish these precious memories <3

By the port :D 

The AIESEC interns in Chios! 

Karfas 

The beaches at Chios are BEAUTIFUL <3 The waters are so blue and clear! 

 

Maura Volia (The Black Beach) 

This is my favourite beach, because it looks so cool with its black pebbles :D Plus, the water at this beach is so clear, that after swimming out to the sea where my feet can no longer touch the bottom, I can still see the rocks at the bottom very clearly 

Sunset at one of the beaches XD Can't remember which one this is haha 

Komi Beach

This beach is apparently the party beach during the weekend :P 

The city of Chios :) 

A view from the mountains 

My friend and I decided to bike up the mountain :P 

One of the few times that I stayed out so late that I could watch the sunrise <3 

Pyrgi village 

This incredible village has buildings and houses that are covered with amazing patterns - that are all carved on, not painted on! 

Mesta - a village-castle :P 

We went to the number 1 suggestion on Trip Advisor, to try the traditional Greek donuts at 'Kanellos' in Mesta. They were DELICIOUS. They were served warm, and with cinnamon, chocolate and honey with mastic (you can choose which topping you want). They were crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside. As you can tell, my friend could not wait until I have finished taking a picture, and had started eating those donuts! XD 

Ah, souvlaki :) One of my favourite Greek food. It's a popular Greek fast food, and is served either on a skewer, or in a pita sandwich (like so). It is cheap, filling, and delicious :D

Ah yes, that one time that my friend and I decided to splurge on some seafood :P He didn't think it was worth the money, I thought it was okay because I quite like these dishes! It was definitely quite expensive though. 

We had fried shrimps, grilled swordfish, fried squid, and... some rice wrapped in vegetable thingy :P 

Last but not least, these are the amazing people that I have met in Chios <3 The girls are the AIESEC members in the University of Aegean, Chios, and the two guys are the other EPs - one from America, and one from Egypt. I had a lot of fun with these seven amazing individuals over the past 6 weeks, and I really do hope that I can meet them again someday :)
