Greece – Agios Serafim Beach (En)
Agios Serafim Beach is near Molos by the Malian Golf, located about 180 km from Athens and 35 Km from Lamia. The area is famous for its olive production and is situated in a mountainous area. It is famous for fishing, hiking and paddle sports. Dogs are welcome and may be off-leash in some areas.
We stayed at Camping Venezuela (38.823542, 22.716548 lat, long) which has its own private beach with sunbeds and sun umbrellas and where Asha enjoyed playing and swimming on the beach as we did.
We totally gave 5 stars to Camping Venezuela, the manager Rula is very nice and helpful. The facilities are excellent, with toilets with paper, soup and paper towels to dry your hands. The shower pressure is good and the water temperature is perfect. There is an area for cooking and washing dishes and other with washing machines. It also has a beautiful Greek Tavern with delicious food.
We had lunch in the tavern where we met Elena and John who are running the tavern and are also dance teachers, and with whom we became friends. For lunch, we shared a Greek Salad with tomatoes, onions, olives, Greek cheese and cucumber, and for the second course, we shared a sea bass and a local fish similar to the sea bass but a little strong in taste. Both fishes were delicious with crispy skin and the inside perfect, some of the best fishes we have ever eaten.
On Saturday night the tavern had typical Greek live music where we learned to dance different Greek dances. The first one we danced was a kind of Zorba where Ben took his time to catch it, hahaha.
Then Elena and John danced to the charmed of all of us and Rula cheered up with a friend where they used glasses like castanets and when they finished dancing they threw them and broke them on the floor.
They explained to us that there is a dance only for men where other men bend down and applaud them and another dance only for women and Elena asked me to dance with her and Rula, I did what I could, hahaha, and Rula ended up dancing on top of the table.
We finished everybody dancing around the terrace holding hands, Ben said the Greek dance is really hard, hahaha, but he had a great time trying to dance it. Then Elena and John joined us and invited us to a jug of red wine to finish the night and they gave us advice on what to see in Athens and we told them what to see in Croatia as in October they are going on an adventure with their own motorhome. We hope to see them again in some place, we will be in contact via Whatsapp.
Our next stop will be Delphi in the South of Greece where you can find the 4th-century-B.C. Temple of Apollo, once home to a legendary oracle, which you can see in the next post!
