La Scala - My little piece of Greek heaven!!!

Hi Family & Friends

This is my little piece of heaven!! I wish I could stay here always!!!  As soon as the boat pushes off the mainland in Kavala my soul finds a sense of peace and quiet that I never experience anywhere else. It is strange, but going to Thassos Island is my place in heaven on earth. Last year I spent 2 nights, this year 2 nights, next year at least 5 nights!! I want that peace to penetrate my heart and soul to last me all the rest of the 360 days of the year!!!

My absolute favorite heavenly place is La Scala Beach. My girlfriend Dora told me about it last year and I stopped by to take a look last year and was overwhlemed by the beauty. This year my goal was to go to La Scala, rent the front cabana, and stay all day into the evening and eat dinner there. I WAS SUCCESSFUL!!!  We arrived 11:30am and stayed through dinner till 9:30pm.....we left the beach in the darkness, we were the last people to leave, and we said good night to La Scala till next year.

There is so much about Thassos Island to share. I will break it into different posts to not overwhelm and honestly each place deserves it's own recognition for being special!!!

Till then, enjoy the beautiful pictures that are La Scala!! Till next year!!!!!

 
Welcome to La Scala
 
 
White Marble Beach with crushed white marble sand

 
Beach Front Cabana - my dream come true
And with the breeze the white curtains flow
And the blue Aegean below makes you believe you are dreaming
 
 


 
There is also a small pool nestled amoung the trees,
the sea with cocktail tables and the outdoor bar



 
There is also a gorgeous outdoor restaurant on the property

 
They also have this lounging style seaside cabana

Recipe of the Week: Kormos from Greece

Image
Hi Everyone As a continuation from last year, this year each week I will try and make a Greek recipe here with the Greek ingredients that I can find here, that are usually a little harder to find in the states!!! This recipe however no problem finding the ingredients in the states!!! There is a restaurant we go to often called Isalos. We know the owners and they wait for my little group to arrive because my kids order big and we eat a lot!!! The speciality is fish and seafood of all sorts!! Here is a picture from last year to remind you of where I am talking about!! The Greek tradition when you eat at Greek restaurants is that the owner gifts you the dessert! Yes, no paying for dessert!!! And they usually bring you ice cold watermelon and a sweet dessert. Well at Isalos the favorite amongst my little group is the Kormos!! Literally no plates needed, you quickly just stab the nicely cut piece with a fork and just eat it off the fork! And then you fight for the few remaining piece

Riva Beach Club & Bar

As our days are counting down, I am going to share with you the reason we come to this lovely place..............crystal clear blue warm waters and an atmosphere of relaxation and calm. Many people ask me about all the political and economically disruptions and difficulties in Greece, and yes all that does exist, however in our small little oasis called Kavala we are in our own little bubble of wonderfulness!!!!!!!!!!!! Riva Beach Club and Bar Here is a list of the main reasons we love this beach Crystal clear waters that are shallow Small kids play swimming pool Best wooden platforms and lounge beds in Kavala This beach is in a beach area called Ammolofoi. It is a stretch of wonderful, crystal blue water, shallow beaches about 30 minutes from Kavala. We head to this area about 4 days per week and frequent the many beach clubs in this area. For me going to the beach in Greece is called Civilized Beach going......you have bathrooms, showers, changing rooms, cafe/bar and/or

Here is Niko!!

Hi Everyone Niko is having a great time here. He has probably taken the longest to adjust as he is very settled in his life in San Diego with his school and classmates! But he has adjusted and is having a great time. Although he does ask a lot about his friends: what they are doing, where they are going for the summer, and if any are close by to him in Greece (Jonas in Norway is the closest and that makes him happy). Niko is a lover of the sea and the ruins of Greece. He is a sponge for anything historic and is constantly on the look out for ruins as we drive anywhere. The loves the sea, swims everywhere, snorkels and loves to eat everything that comes out of the sea. His favorite is the full size, grilled squid!!! He even asked Papou for it on his own......"remember Papou last time (2 years ago) I ate squid, but the whole thing, that is what I want".......and he got it!!! Every chance we get we eat squid!!!   Niko's favorite things in Greece Swimming Beach
