Last summer was absolutely wonderful! We started our vacation with a trip to the Bahamas. It was unforgettable. We stayed at a 6-star hotel called “The Bahamas View”.

In the morning we had breakfast at the hotel and then headed for the beach. There were giant waves in the sea and the sight was beautiful. We went on to do some water sports and even saw some sharks

In the evening we went for a walk and at 3 o’clock after midnight we went to a club called “Coco Bobo”. The following day we got on the plane and visited Africa. We wanted to go on a safari. It was an amazing experience to see all those wild animals from up close.

Our last stop was in Australia. We visited the famous Opera House in Sydney, we marveled at the gigantic bridge and then went shopping at the city center. The next day we went to Cabrera, and then finally took the plane back to Greece.

Last summer three children went on a trip to Mykonos. They would play at the beach. In the evening they would go for a walk and eat ice cream and at ten o’clock they would go to this beautiful Chinese restaurant and eat sushi, which they loved. After dinner they would sometimes watch a movie.

One night they watched a very scary movie, a thriller called “It”. It was amazing but a bit too scary for them. The next day one of the children had his birthday and they celebrated it with a party. They all enjoyed themselves very much. That was the end of their summer holidays and they returned home to Polichrono feeling happy.

Two weeks ago we went to a camp to spend our summer holidays. One night as we were brushing our teeth we heard a strange and very loud sound, like growling. We got out of the bathroom to see where it was coming from, and sure enough found strange traces on the ground. As we were about to turn around and leave, we saw a strange creature looking at us from behind some bushes. It was green and tine and had three eyes. When it realized we had seen it, it tried to run away, even more frightened than we were. We followed it but lost it somewhere in the woods because it was night and it was very dark.

When we returned to the camp no one believed us and laughed thinking we were joking. We will never forget this strange encounter!

One day my friends and I went out to play. After about three hours we got tired and came upon an old scary house. We entered and heard some very strange noises coming from one room but as we tried to leave we found the door locked! At this time we were very scared and didn’t know what to do.

It was very dark in the house and we could hardly see anything. We were terrified but managed to find and switch on the lights. The door, however, was still blocked. We thought of taking an axe to break it, but couldn’t find one. Then we decied to jump from the window, as there was an old tramboline just under it. And sure enough we were in luck, as we all managed to get out and run back home!

And this is the end of this story, which by the way is a true story.

One day we went to Dubai to see our friends. We stayed in a 5 star hotel. The day after our arrival we went to a restaurant and ate fish and chips. At night we went to a club with our friends, drank lots of tequila and got severely drunk.

In the morning we ate breakfast. Then our friends came to meet us and together we decided to go to the beach in a Ferrari. Maria suggested we go to Disneyland, where we saw Mini Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Elsa and Anna, and we took a lot of photographs. Later we went to a restaurant to have dinner. Joanna was very hungry and ordered spaghetti and chicken.

The next day we took the first plane to come home to Greece. Pamela went to her house and her parents wanted to surprise her with a trip, but she wasn’t feeling very well so they eventually had to cancel. Aphrodite on the other hand found her sister in her house, who had come for a sleep over.

All in all, we had a lot of fun!

One day our class decided to go on a trip to Skiathos. We decided to go there because the winner of the Greek survivor, who is the most famous of the players, lives there. His name is George Aggelopoulos. The next day we took the ship to Skiathos. When we arrived we went to our hotel to leave our suitcases. Then we went to the beach called Koukounaries because we knew he works there and does Water Sports. As soon as we arrived we saw him. He agreed to take a lot of selfies with us. He was very friendly and kind to us and he bought us a lot of drinks. We were so excited that we had seen and talked to him that we felt disappointed when it was time for us to leave.

This summer a lot of things happened but only one thing struck me as odd. Let me explain…

The first day of July I went on a trip to Crete with my family. We arrived to the port and after a while we got on the boat. We were sitting in a restaurant and an erthquake suddenly happened and everyone started screaming. As soon as we realised what was happening we went on the deck and saw a man in the water screaming for help. The lifeguard jumped in the water to save him but, unfortunately, he was already dead. His wife went crazy. She started screaming and jumped into the water and drowned. Then everyone went quiet. We patiently waited for another boat to pick us up and take us to Crete with safety.

On Saturday I was with my friends Andrew and John and we were building a house when something very tragic happened. Andrew’s hair suddenly fell off completely because he hadn’t been using a mask! We all went to the supermarket to buy a wig but we couldn’t find one so we tried going to the hairdresser’s and asked Kyriakos if he had a wig. However Kiriakos didn’t have a wig either.

Andrew didn’t find a wig for himself and cried all day and all night and even broke up with his girlfriend Ilda!

Last week was a very sunny day. I think it was actually the hottest summer day. That is why my friends and I decided to go to the beach. After deciding where to go we finally arrived. It was a normal day just like any other day, but little did we know it wouldn’t be as we expected.

There were large rocks on a cliff so you could climb and jump in the water. After heading towards the water, we started climbing the cliff so that we could jump. I went first and my friends followed. My other friend jumped and only Violet was left. She started climbing the cliff but suddenly she slipped and hit her leg. She was obviously in pain so we took her to the hospital. After hours of waiting for the results, the doctors said she had broken her left leg.

As the days went by she got better and we all learned a lesson.

You can have all the fun you want in summertime but don’t cross the safety line.

Last week my friends and I went on a trip to Athens. The tickets were not expensive because we went by bus.
We had a lovely time on the bus talking to each other and making plans. Then we arrived in Athens and checked in our hotel. Later we went for a walk and visited an archaeological museum. We took lots of photos of the sites. Finally, we went for a drink to this trendy cafe.
All in all, we had a great time together and I hope we will repeat it again some time in the near future.

Hello everyone! My name is Maria and I want to tell you about the adventure my brother and I had on our summer vacation. It happened on an island I cn't remember the name of. My family and I went there with my dad's friend and his daughter.
We stayed in a hotel near a beach bar with boats for rent. We were there for only one week so we had to make sure we would have fun. On the first day we went diving and collected shells. The next day I spent more time with my brother. It was relaxing and nice to spend time with him. Until something went wrong...Just like every time I spend time with him.
You see, my brother and I wanted to rent a boat from the beach bar for an hour but it was late in the evening and the beach bar was closed. My brother suggested we take a boat without anyone's permission. I really wanted to go so I followed him. It was an epic experience!
So this was my story and I hope you liked it.

One day in the summer Mitsos, Takis and Makis went  to a lighthouse in Pefkohori.
They were diving in the water when suddenly a big fish started chasing them. They were very frightened and tried to climb on the lighthouse without success. After much effort Makis managed to climb and help the others too.
After that they went to their houses for a shower, and then decided to take a walk in Pefkohori, as the day hadn't finished yet. Finally, they went home to rest.

One summer day My friends and I decided to go on vacation to the third peninsula of Halkidiki.

When we arrived, we went to our 5-star hotel named Luxury Palace, in Amouliani. After about an hour we put our swimsuits on and we took the ferry boat to take us to New Roda.

In the afternoon we returned to our hotel, took a shower and went to sleep. Many hours later we got dressed and took the ferry boat to get to Ierissos for a walk. We got there after an hour because there was a problem with our ferry boat and we had to go back to Amouliani.

This is how I spent my summer holidays. I had a fantastic time!

Last summer was amazing! I did so many fun things with my friends and I had a great time but I'll always something that happened.

So, one week before school started my friends and I went to a water park in Thessaloniki. When we arrived we went straight to the sliders. While we were playing there, we suddenly saw a child flying out of the slider and landing on the ground. We were shocked after this and ran to see if the child was alright.

We were so relieved when we saw him standing on his feet again! However, I think we will never forget what we saw that day in the water park!

One day, as we were having a picnic, a storm suddenly broke out. We started running and we were looking for a place to take shelter. While we were running we found a small wooden house. The door was open so we went in. Suddenly the door closed behind us and we were mortified when we realised that we were actually locked in! We began to shout out for help but nobody could hear us. We then tried to open one of the windows but we couldn't! I was so scared that I started throwing things at the window. The window broke and we managed to get out of the house with a grin from ear to ear. Finally the storm calmed down and we returned to our homes safe and sound.

This was the hottest and most beautiful summer in Polihni.

We went swimming every day and had fun too. We met a beautiful girl named Maria and later went to the stadium to play football with the other guys.

At night we went to AHOY, a night club in Kalithea and when the party ended we went somewhere else to have another drink and to get a bite to eat.

We hope we will have such a great summer every year.

This summer was one of the best summers in my life because I had the chance to meet new friends. That is when I met my best friend, Maria.

Maria and I did a lot of things together. One day we went to her house to watch a horror movie which was about a serial killer, but as we were watching the movie we heard a strange noise outside. At the begining we didn't think much about it, but when we heard it again we started to worry. What if the serial killer was actually outside our window? After a while we found the courage to look outside the window to see where the noise was really coming from. It was just a kitten...!

It was such a hilarious idea that we thought the killer had come after us that we couldn't stop laughing.

Once upon a time my friends and I were walking on the beach when we saw a strange person. This man was about 40 years old and his nickname was "Gorilla".
"Gorilla" got his nickname because he was acting weirdly, like a real gorilla. I remember the time when he was walking with his hands hanging and beating his chest. Also there was a day when he got a bicycle in his arms and started shouting and screaming. The most insane thing he did was to climb on the nearest tree and start throwing branches at the people passing by.
Needless to say, the gorilla guy was acting insane again. We hope we never stumble upon him ever again!

This summer was just wonderful! I met people in the hall. I did a lot of swimming in the sea but also in the pool with my friends. In the summer we went to Hanioti, Pefkohori, Thessaloniki, and to many other places. For me it could be the best summer I've ever had.

I am writing to tell you about my friend. I went to Waterland in Thesdsaloniki with my best friend, Koge. First we tried the water slides and then we went to a fast food restaurant. My friend ate seven souvlakis and I ate two and we saw two beautiful girls and decided to follow them. We got on the cable car were we met and decided to go out together to a bar and drink lots of drinks.
The next day we went to the zoo where we really liked the raccoons, the lion and the tiger, the hippo and a big variety of birds. Finally we went to the river and...(to be continued)

Dear Jim,
I'm writing to tell you about my first day without school in the summer. I slept until 2 in the afternoon and then went for a swim with my best friends. When we finished we went for a walk and played a lot of games until 8. I had dinner and saw my favourite film with my parentsand then went to sleep until 2:30 am. The second day I played football with my friends and then we went to the beach for a walk.
All summer long I was with my friends swimming, playing games and going for walks. We would go to school and play basketball. Later we would go to the park and meet up with other friends and we would play and have fun. After two months our summer vacation ended for this year. I can't wait for next summer to come..!!

On a summer day my friends and I were at the beach. There was an old ship nearby with weird people on it. As the ship came closer, we noticed lots of other scary things about it. It looked really old with 2000 skeletons and 50 pirates on the deck. Suddenly everything got really dark. The ship stopped right in front of us, but the next thing we can remember is waking up inside some bags. The pirates had transformed us into zombies and had taken us to their island. We soon became friends and that is when all our crazy adventures began.
After about 2000 years we got killed in the easiest fights, and became dogs!!!

It was a sunny day. My friends and I decided to go to the sea for a swim. We took my father's boat and went far out into the ocean. We saw a shark and we were terrified, but the shark turned out to be kind. We were cautious at first, but eventually we became friends. It was a baby shark and it was a lovely creature!
It allowed us to touch it, we played lots of games, and fed it with some food we had with us on the boat. When the mother shark saw us she wanted to eat us at first, but the baby shark protected us. The mother sharked liked us and thanked us for finding her baby which had been lost the last three days. We met her husband; it was a big white shark. We would have eaten us, but the baby shark protected us again. We met all the baby's family.
When we went back home we were very excited. It was an amazing adventure! We then decided to go shopping. We bought some clothes for the baby shark. Unfortunately father shark decided to have a taste of my left hand as I was trying to dress Babis, the baby shark, but I guess every adventure has its own risks!

One day I woke up in a good mood. I thought to myself, "It's a great day. Why don't I get up, have breakfast and go shopping?" So I got up and made myself breakfast. I checked the fridge to see what's missing so I could buy it. I made a list and went shopping. There was a woman at the supermarket asking a man working there questions, but her behaviour was inappropriate. She was very rude because the man was coloured, so she was clearly a racist! A lot of people were defending him and the woman eventually got kicked out of the shop. I hope I never see such behaviour ever again, we live in a free country after all!

My family and I went to France for our summer holidays. We went there by plane. On our first day, my mum and I went shopping and my brother and dad went swimming at the hotel's swimming pool. After shopping my mum and I also went to the swimming pool. The next day we went to see the Eiffel Tower. It's very beautiful. After that we went to a restaurant where the food was delicious. After three days we returned to Greece.
France is a very beautiful country and the people are very kind.

It was a sunny afternoon when my friends and I went camping to the Golden Beach. We had been planning this for a long time. Finally the time had come for us to go.
We had prepared our bags filled with supplies. Everything was going as planned. As soon as we arrived we went straight to the beach and started playing games in the water. Before we knew it , it was already night. We had dinner by the seaside and then we started a fire. While one of us was playing the guitar, the others were singing and dancing round the fire. We were so tired that we couldn't even open our sleeping bags, and we slept by the seaside that night.
The next day we woke up very early, before dawn, because one of got stung by a scorpion. As soon as we heard the screams and found out what had happened, we quickly picked up our tents and got our friend to the doctor. Fortunately it wasn't anything serious.
We will never forget that day by the beach, it was the best weekend of my life...

So, it was our best friend's birthday. We were planning to surprise her, and she didn't know anything.
A day before her birthday we all met at a cafe to talk about what we would do. We decided to surprise her with a cake and little fireworks that are so in fashion these days. Then we went to a restaurant to eat pizza with our friend.
She was really confused because we were acting a little weird. When we finished eating, we said we needed to go to the bathroom, but we actually went to the restaurant's kitchen. It was summer, so it was naturally hot, but in the kitchen it was even hotter. She was sitting at the table all alone, and we finally surprised her. Everyone started singing and it was a memory to remember. She was really happy.
