Escape in Sausalito

California is the tree that keeps on giving.
The biggest gift is San Fransisco, ofcourse.
Very close to San Fran, though, expands a little surprise by the name of Sausalito.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this little village exudes calmness and a sense of joy (it also reminds me, a little bit, of a coast in Greece!)

To get there you can :

• rent a car and drive through the Goden Gate bridge 
• bicycle and experience the natural beauty of the entire ride 
• walk there (!) . From the city of San Fran it will take you about 2,5 hours. 
• My favourite way though , is by taking the Ferry. Head to the Ferry building in Embarcadero right after Pier 1 , purchase your ticket from the ticket machines and enjoy the 30 minuites ride. You are allowed to take your bike on the ferry as well. 

TIP: in case you do not have enough time to visit Alcatraz or you did not find tickets online, coming back from Sausalito, the ferry goes really close to Alcatraz , so you can at least take some decent pictures of the island.

Must See:

• The houses build on the cliffs and those build on the beach.
• The "forest" of sailing boat masts ( κατάρτια ) next to the pier.
• The Angel island (ex immigration Station ,that opened in 1775, where immigrants entering the US , were detained and intettogated.)

Must Eat :

• At "Gourmet Delicatessen" , on Caledonia st. It is the best place for a good quality sandwich and homemade desserts. It is also owned by a greek familly! 

We are everywhere!!! MmmHAHAHA ..(evil laugh)

Must Feel:

• The sun, sitting on the big rocks on the coast 

...and that, is more than enough, i told you , this place is an escape, you come here to relax!)
