L
ast
holiday
Mykonos,
a
I
went
very
to
beautiful
island in Greece. We travelled
by boat. The journey was great and
it lasted for 5 hours. We stayed in
a hotel for one week. I bought some
souvenirs from the island, like a T-
shirt with Mykonos on it. We ate
L
traditional food which was delicious.
ast holiday I went to Ioannina.
We
went
in
our
car
and
arrived at 3 o’ clock. We
stayed there for two days and then
we went to my village. I really
enjoyed it because I see my cousins
and other relatives only 3 times a
year. Ioannina is situated in the
north-west of Greece. It is a busy
town where 120,000 people live. The
town is built next to a lake called
Pamvotida. In the middle of the lake
there is a small island. It is the only
island in a lake in Greece where
people live. Around the town and its
lake there are high mountains. That
is why it is quite cold and wet during
winter.
Τhere
is
snow
on
the
mountains for over four months of
the year. The town is over 15
centuries old and it has a beautiful
old castle overlooking the lake. The
view from its top is fantastic. There
We swam in beautiful beaches and
saw the attractions of the island. It
was a great holiday and I want to go
there again! (by Vassiliki)
