    A Stroll Down Memory Lane – Lipsi Past and Present

    ByStephanie Banks 16 July 20239 August 2023

    During our first few days on Lipsi, we were able to venture out in the evenings once the temperatures had dropped (by at least a few degrees!). I attempted to retrace my steps from 2004 by finding places that matched up with the small clutch of photographs I had from that trip. It was like…

    A Flying Visit to Patmos – Door Knocker Paradise

    ByStephanie Banks 24 July 201917 February 2022

    It was late evening by the time I arrived at the Port of Patmos.  Unbeknown to me the hotel that I’m staying at has a transfer service.  I guess I’m not used to this kind of luxury and hoik my luggage to the hotel regardless. Elen greets a bedraggled and exhausted me at reception and…

    Peloponnese Landscape and Arrival in Kardamyli

    ByStephanie Banks 11 April 201713 September 2022

    Today we embark on the first leg of our trip across the Peloponnese where Kardamyli is our first stop.  Kardamyli is another recommendation that came to me through the Matt Barrett Greek Travel Guide Facebook group.  I had heard that Kardamyli is a very pretty and unspoilt village that is really worth the visit.  Located…
