I didn’t feel sad leaving Poros as I knew I would be back. Because I am writing this three years after the event I know that I DO return to Poros just two months later. Anyhoo it is time to leave and head to Aegina. The Apollon Hellas appears from somewhere near Kimomeni’s shoulder and…
We are up early today and have decided to walk to Faros which sits on the Western tip of Poros. It’s a really nice walk – the spring temperatures are just perfect in the morning. We grab some pastries for breakfast and head off along the coastal road. We pass both Love Bay and Russian…
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…
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 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…
NB This is a part of a trip that I started writing up in 2015 – how about that for procrastination! Today the only plan we have in mind is to visit the well known landmark called the Devil’s Eye. We head out from our lodgings at Hippocampus looking for somewhere to eat breakfast. Close…
Today is the day of a referendum to decide on whether Greece will accept the bailout conditions from the European Union. There is not much evidence of obvious campaigning here – no posters or even queues at polling stations. The only thing we can see is on the TV news. It looks like Oxi has…
