As I was looking through a travel magazine, I came across an advertisement that made my eyes sparkle. There was an image of the sea in the color of BRIGHT aqua with umbrellas made of straw. I used my powers to magically step inside the advertisement and spend a day to take a dip in the water and relax under the sun.
The minute I arrived there, I removed my clothes and splashed into the water and enjoyed gawking at the scene that seemed to be “too good to be true.” The feeling of the warm sun and the cool, rippling water kept me from wanting to get out. I laid on my back as if I was lying on a reclining chair. It was so comfortable, I have to admit.
I can swear that this advertisement did not mislead me. This image was absolutely not photoshopped at all. Seeing through my naked eyes, the sea was indeed in the color of aqua. It was seriously hard to believe.
Yesterday, I took a few buses to reach the destination in Chalkidiki, Athitos with a friend. Chalkidiki is a beautiful region in northern Greece filled with sparkling aqua seas! This was a travel moment where I truly felt as if I was living inside an advertisement and also inside the movie, Mamma Mia. My Greek friend told me this sea is nothing! I was stunned when she told me! I cannot imagine any other beaches more beautiful than this one. She said I need to make a trip to the Greek Islands. I will another time…
