Shortly after saying our goodbye’s to Magnus, the bus continues past the Psifta wetlands where we get a glimpse of the lake full of pink flamingos. What a shame I didn’t have my camera to hand but a magnificent sight all the same. We finally arrive at Galatas. We only have a short time to…
We meet Magnus and breakfast again. We confirm plans to meet at the bus station the follow day to catch the bus to Galatas. Today we are visiting Epidaurus by bus. The Peloponnese really does have an excellent bus service and I hope that my series of posts demonstrates that you don’t need to hire…
We slept well at the King Othon. When we came down for breakfast we were told that instead of breakfast in the courtyard, it would be served at their sister hotel the Victoria just a few buildings away. The Victoria was a more modern building but the buffet breakfast was top notch. As we ate…
This post is published 3 years after the event so details are sketchy. Although my memory may falter, hopefully the photographs will compensate. Easter in Tyros was magnificent. A totally unique and exceptional experience. But now it is time to move on to Nafplio. In the middle of the two kilometre stretch of beach in…
Whilst on my travels I’ve realised that it is important to know when to give up on trying to “blog on the go” and actually enjoying the experience. It really does take a lot of effort capturing your thoughts and feelings on some kind of digital medium and not to mention downloading and sorting through…
This morning we woke at 7am. Everywhere is quiet and from our balcony all we can hear are the bird chirping, the chickens scratching away in the olive grove and the church bells. Katerina was up and sitting in the office where we wish her Kali Anastasi. When we had arrived back at Katerina’s Studios…
Sotiris tells us this morning that he’d received a phone call from Elpida at the Patrick Leigh Fermor Project and we will be able to visit this evening at 4.30. In the meantime, we walk back to the Old Town. Today it is open and we are able to purchase a ticket to go inside. …
I have a very good feeling about this trip and it has come at exactly the right time. Â The pressures of work are beginning to tell and I am desperate for sunshine, good food and all things ‘Joi de vivre’ that beautiful Greece will offer. I am particularly excited about the opportunity to observe the…
This is a very rushed post as I try finish up a trip that I did in 2015. Compiled almost 7 years to the day! Here we are back on Santorini where we first began our island hopping trip to Naxos, Iraklia, Schinoussa, Koufonissi and Amorgos – the latter being added in at the last…
NB – This is part of a trip that I started writing up in 2015 and am now desperately trying to complete. 🙂 This morning we throw everything into our suitcases ready to leave Amorgos. What an exceptional stay it has been. We go to the shop close by for bottles of water.  It’s one…
Note: this is part of a trip that I started writing up in 2015. I lost many of my images during a hard drive failure but thankfully still have enough left to remind of this trip. ♥ One of the first things I usually do upon arriving on a new island is to check out…
NB This is part of a trip that I started writing up in 2015. I’ve got that sinking feeling – woooah that sinking feeling. I’ve got that sinking feeling and it’s time time time, time to pack my bag! Anyway, bags are packed and we just have time to have a final mooch around the…
