One Rock Beach in Greece!

Rummage sale jacket

Today was one of the first extremely warm and sunny days out so we packed sandwiches with cream cheese and cucumbers and headed out to the beach. A family from Holland drove us to the public beach nearby but we wanted to find a more isolated spot so we walked around the mountain more and got to a beach called “One Rock Beach” that was completely secluded surrounded by caves. There were only about 20 people there, most of them naked, just drinking beers and chillen in the sun. I’ve never been to a nudist beach before and even though I still had my bathing suit on, the environment felt very free and relaxed. Walking by the water was so refreshing because nature sends me such eccentric vibes and energizes and boosts my soul. The three Americans from our hostel came as well and we all climbed up the mountain and jumped off the cliff!!!! It was the scariest thing I’ve ever done in my life and the freezing water was an absolute shock that numbed my entire body and it was completely nuts .. but I Loved it. It made me feel completely whole and alive and the adrenaline that rushed through me pierced my veins and woke up every tired cell and neuron in my body! We layed on the beach for a while and fell asleep. The water was glistening and the wind was creating wild, white waves. After spending the day there, we walked back to the hostel and went to a rummage sale at the town’s lending library. I bought an old grandma’s jacket with crazy flowers and shoulder pads but ripped out the shoulder pads and fixed it up a little.(I get compliments on it all the time now!) Two ladies at the sale told me about how sad they are that tourism is blossoming there because buildings and roads have been rapidly sprouting, ruining the natural, old fashioned feel of Plakias. “Don’t tell any of your friends about this place or next thing you know, they’ll plop down a Hilton Hotel on the mountain!”
