Greece, known for its scenic islands often overshadows other picturesque spots within Greece. Hidden in the folds of northern Greece lies 3 peninsulas with sandy white beaches and clear blue water. Out of the 3, Kassandra, the westernmost peninsula is the most famous. Accessed by a bus from Tssaloniki it transports you to another world, one which belongs to a bygone era. Its slow paced life and relaxed atmosphere provides a nice change from the hectic hustle and bustle of metropolitans. Waking up at noon and taking a leisurely walk through the quaint town-centre dotted with cafes and restaurants helps you reach a state of bliss. While walking on the streets one such sunny morning i came across a small cafe overlooking the aegean sea. While sipping on greek iced coffee and watching the sun cast glittering patterns on the turquoise blue waters i was surrounded by an atmosphere of complete tranquility. The atmosphere of idleness and the towns simple life was a source of solace.
However, in contrast to the languid nature of the town at dawn, the city comes alive at dusk bustling with activity. On one such zestful night we visited an unconventional nightclub with a rooftop that opened periodically throughout the night, alternating between an open terraced bar and nightclub. One moment you are sipping on a cocktail under the stars and the next you are transported amidst a throng of greeks in a frenzy of ouzo laced highs dancing to trending numbers under a lazerlight show. The whole greek experience is complete with giros at 4 as a midnight hangover snack.
