We got the idea in our heads to go to Phillipi, since we've been visiting lots of the places that the apostle Paul went - Thessaloniki, Berea, the Egnatia Road, etc. But the sun was shining and there were signs from the motorway to a beach - so we jumped on the opportunity to soak up a bit more sun. We're so uber-spiritual. We found an empty beach with great taverna, where they spoke no English, but brought out a some local culinary goodies. Afterwards, we settled down into the sand enjoying the view of the Holy Mount Assos. You could see why as it appeared almost suspended magically in the sky (see photo album). The chef came out to do some octopus fishing...so of course Kris had to volunteer us to show him how it was done properly! He said if we caught it, he'd cook it for us - he must have been pretty confident in our lack of fishing skills.
Come along for the journey!
