We have our last fabulous breakfast at the Albatros. I would definitely recommend this small family run hotel. It has the friendliness of a family hotel but with very high standards and excellent customer service. We have a couple of hours before returning to the hotel for our taxi. This has been a…
This really is turning out to be a beach holiday – well on the days we had sunshine anyway. We aren’t ‘sit on the beach all day’ people but with the lack of excursions (I had really wanted to go to Albania and a trip to Corfu or one of the Sivotan islands) we are…
We take advantage of the nice weather spend the morning on Zavia Beach, saving our appetite for the evening. Late afternoon we change and get ready to head up to Perdika Village on the bus. This is the last bus of the day so we also take the details of Giogios the taxi driver so…
Today is another bright day and we’re certainly not going to take it for granted! After breakfast we decide to discover more of the coastline with an early morning walk. We had only viewed Zavia beach from the main road above the other day so decide to walk down to the beach itself – it’s…
Maria had arranged for Giorgios the taxi driver to pick us up at 10.00am from our hotel. He’s a very friendly chap and is happy to take us the 400km round trip. He has visited many times before but hasn’t been for a while so he will enjoy the trip also. After all the faffing…
We awake to another grey and overcast day. No rain as of yet – but we know that its coming! We head down for breakfast which again is a great feast. The Danes have their maps spread out across the tables planning their drive to Meteora – obviously much braver than I! Today we decide…
We were out for the count after an exhausting day of travelling. We knew that the forecast was for rain for the first few days here – we had been checking the week before we left England. It was raining – not spitting but heavily raining! We needed to go back to the travel agency…
We’ve been looking forward to this trip for some time. I’d set my sights in Sivota after seeing an aerial photograph of Sivota and its surrounding islands a few years ago. It takes a lot to drag me away from the islands but this is a trip that I’ve really got to do. Originally I’d…
7 day stay in Sivota on Greece’s Epirus coast, with a day trip to the extraordinary monasteries of Meteora. Discover hidden Ionian beaches, climb to clifftop villages, and stand beneath rock pillars that have inspired pilgrims for centuries. This trip proves that mainland Greece rivals any island—with dramatic landscapes, authentic tavernas, and far fewer crowds. Best time: May-June or September-October.
The room here at the Arion is quite nice – modern and clean. We are up on the roof level – or as I like to call it the Penthouse! I can imagine in full season it is quite noisy when guests are out on the roof terrace in the evening. Great views though! …
We woke up early to finish packing. Pension Morfeus has been a fabulous place to stay both location wise, hospitality wise and definitely has the best ever bathroom for a pension. We give Pension Morfeus 5 Stars! Maria comes to say goodbye to us and she gives us a gift. It is wrapped…
Today is our last full day on Sifnos. There is still so much more to see but decide to catch the bus to Apollonia – all destinations depart from Apollonia. We plan to take the bus onwards to Hironissos – just a round trip as the bus only runs twice a day. The same group…
