The most wonderful experience I have ever had was a holiday I spent with a friend in Kalogria. As we were camping, we were afraid that it might rain, but the weather turned out to be gorgeous. I remember that week so clearly: the walk to the beach each day; turning that final corner and suddenly seeing the magnificent sea spread out before me like a sparkling blue carpet; the hours spent lazily lying in the sun and plunging into the sea when it got too hot. It was marvelous.

On the last day we were there, Chris and I were lying on the beach when Chris laughed and said: ‘ Look at that silly woman waving at us!’. We both grinned and waved back but she did not look very happy.

‘Hold on’ I said suddenly, she is waving for help! We both ran down the beach and dived into the water to save her. She was OK but she had got a cramp and would certainly have drowned if we had not been there! We both got our pictures in the paper!

All in all it was an exciting and rewarding holiday. I am planning to go again this year!
