Thanks to "Couchsurfing"...

@ Agoi Theodoroi train station

... I finally met Giorgos. Well actually Couchsurfing was the first connection, because I wanted to meet new people here as soon as possible. On Saturday it was time to meet in person (we took the train for 3 euros one way for a 8 min train ride) and to be honest it is strange to see somebody for the first time and having the feeling to know him all you life. Giorgos is a great person, he showed us several bars in Korinthos, the closest bigger city from Agoi Theodoroi, about 20km away. We started of in a lounge Como, which just opened a couple of months ago and one of his friends was the DJ there that night. Then we moved on to a bar called Soul Kitchen which had some very tasty sparkling white wine (I think Muscato) and a sort of triangle bar in the middle of the room; I think this was my personal favorite that night. After that we went to cocktail bar Lemon, where

Enjoying the snacks

I had the best White Russian in my entire life (sorry Flo, but you really have to try it, WOW). In every bar they serve water and snacks with your drink, which is good and makes you enjoy everything even more. I must say, I very much enjoy the lifestyle here. People love to talk, enjoy their nights without getting deliberately wasted, doll themselves up (the girls a little too much, but it is nice to watch). The Greek tend to go out a lot later than in the Netherlands or Germany. Here, they usually start their Satuday night's out around 12.30. The same counts for dinner, which is usually taken around 8 pm (half of the time, I would probably starv until then ;))

Fresh homemade bread :)

Between sun and rain *Gorgeous*

Today we slept in and enjoyed a good first lunch in our apartment and went to Korinthos again in the afternoon. First, a little walk along the sea and some interesting facts about the Greek history. Then we went to a quite exclusive café/bar in Loutráki packed with styled and posh people.

Benny trying very hard

A free outside gym, great idea!

We spent some hilarious hours with two other friends of Giorgos which where a pleasure to meet. So much fun!!! By the time we got out of there it was probably almost 7.30 when we discovered the outside gym right in front of the café. Of course we had to try all machines, seriously what a great idea, I have never seen this before.

Sushilicious!!! :)

Afterwards he showed us the biggest Casino in Europe the Club Hotel Loutráki. We did not gamble but enjoyed a free buffet (just to kill our appetite and not to waste the coupon we had) and an even better Sushi dinner afterwards. YES, I did eat Sushi, Mum, no idea what made me do it, but it was good. The waitress was amazing and had us try so many dishes and desserts that we almost rolled out of there. :)

The night ended with a birthday party in a pub called Jimmy's. A friend of Giorgos turned  30, so we spent the last hours celebrating with her. Just another great day :) I am very grateful to have learned again more about the Greek culture and its people! In general I think I have never met somebody who knows so many people and has such a big network. Within two days Benny and I have met so many new people and seen many fun and interesting places.

THANK YOU for sharing these experiences with us!!! :)
