We left the house early Saturday in search of a bus for the city of Foça! This part of the story took 3 hrs! Short version- went to wrong bus depot. We asked for directions. Hopped on the correct city bus for 45 minutes to the main terminal, the otogar. This bus center looks more like a airport. It's huge! Wandered around the 100 kiosks and discovered we were on the wrong floor. Yes it's multi-leveled! Up the stairs and the first bus we see "foça"! We did it! Grabbed a tomato/cheese sandwich and hopped on. It's a hour, forty five minute ride to the town. Making stops along the way to pick up anyone flagging it down. The bus was a nice ride through the country. Something we miss since we are living in a city the size of Chicago.
We are finally arrive in town at 3pm. Walking the streets of shops that sit on a sailing bay. This is place home to Homers sirens, natural beauties, crystal clear water, seals, small coves, ancient walls dating back to 5 BC and the best calamari in the world! From here you can hop on a ferry to the Greek Island of Lesbos. Maybe next time.
