Winter walk in summer(ish) weather (part 3)

If you follow my posts or are a native one you know how kids (of various ages) like to spray their attitude on every blank space around here, even outside the urban web at coastal areas where you can only find hotels and cottages:

I keep walking West by the sea and feels like there's nothing better to do on a day like this:

Or in other words the wonders of spending your time over Hellenic soil. You wake up, take your breakfast and start walking by the coastline of the Athenian riviera:
