A Railway Museum, Greek Village and a Mediterranean Beach

I think we could easily spend a week here. There is so much to see. This morning we started by visiting a Railway Museum. Its hardly advertised and no one else seemed to know about it. It was one of those notes in the Lonely Planet and we thought it might be interesting for the kids. Man were we wrong, it was awesome for the kids.

We had problems finding it as it was off the main road and not sign posted. It had 30 locomotives in total, the oldest dating from 1887.

We next went to the Greek Mountain Village of Sirince arriving at about 1pm. In the 15th century a group of freed Greek slaves made their home here. It was so beautiful that they called it village Cirkince (Ugliness), to deter others from visiting, but later in 1926 the Governor renamed it Sirince (pleasantness). It lives up to it reputation, as it was very pretty. We parked in the large 100 car park, near the entrance. The streets we really quaint and narrow. After an hour the car park had filled up and visitors were trying to drive through the streets in search of parks. Talk about stressful.

Holly took a fancy to a dress and the woman took a fancy to Holly. It looked very nice on her and we got a good price. As we were leaving by 3pm cars were still pouring in with no where to park. All the way down the mountain we past traffic. It pays to get there early.

We ended the day by going to a local's beach. It was very nice but shallow to about 200m out. Perfect for the girls and very warm. Our thoughts are starting to turn to the UK now and our battle to take ownership of a rental when we arrive. News later.
