9) Aλεξανδρουπολις Alexandroupolis

A stopover in ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥΠΟΛΙΣ on our way to Thessaloniki.

Our hotel rooms overlook the azure waters of the Aegean Sea.

We stop at the beachside cafe called ΜΥΛΟΣ ψαροταβέρνα (Milos Fish Tavern). We share a μελιτζάνα (stuffed eggplant), εμφιαλωμένο νερό (still water), ελληνικός καφές (Greek coffee) and σάμαλι honey-semolina cake.

    Greek still and soda water labels.

No agenda today, relaxing spell in this coastal fishing village called Alexandroupolis.

         The century old lighthouse.

     From the local bookshop, a find for Ian, my brother, who's an expert on Second World War history.
