    Leaving Alexandroupolis and Back to Athens

    ByStephanie Banks 29 October 202320 April 2024

    My proposed trip to the Evros Delta was a washout. I received a call from the organiser in the morning to say that storms had been forecast so the boat trip would not run. Of course, I was disappointed but I was able to retrieve some of the time at the History Museum of Alexandroupolis….

    Soufli – It’s all about the Silk!

    Leaving Xanthi and Arrival on Samothrace

    ByStephanie Banks 20 October 202318 March 2024

    Rightyhooo then – a quick photo-dump of some of the images of Xanthi that I haven’t yet had a chance to include in the previous posts. Here are photos of the former home of composer  Manos Hadjidakis, the old town hall, the Church of St Vlasios, Muzaffer Bey Mansion – and more. Xanthi has been…
