Greece
During my Virtual field trip, I visited Mykonos Island in the country of Greece. I came across all different sorts of beautiful pictures. Greece is known for the beauty of the islands that they have. Mykonos is often visited due to the sightings and ancient historical events that have happened. Mykonos is mostly composed of granite and is very rocky with a lack of dense vegetation; therefore, plants such as resistant flowers, evergreen bushes, pines, and cypresses are some of the only plants that can withstand the conditions. It is said that some areas around the island include features like palms and olive groves. That’s why the landscape is greener, and the air is fresh and clean. During this trip, I learned the nickname for Mykonos, which is “The Island of the Winds,” and it has received this nickname because of the strong winds that occur. Since this island is a tourist area, there are plenty of resorts to stay at and adventures to go on. Some resorts include Platis Yalós, one of Mykonos’ first resorts to be created and has beautiful views and many attractions. Next was “Little Venice” which is the spot to go if you are looking for something a bit bit more romantic, and throughout the island, you can find bars, cafes, art galleries, and more.

Have you ever been to another country?
I have traveled to another country; last year, in 2019, I went to Greece and stayed there with family for two months. Our family lives in a village called Pantanassa, and it was convenient to stay there for us because we also have a house there. I have seen many of the geographic and historical things listed above. The culture in Greece is different compared to American culture. The country is wonderful, and my family and I traveled to tourist places and enjoyed the beaches, food, history, and activities. If you have traveled to another country, please share your experience with me!
