Travelling Around Greece on a Budget – How to Live Frugally!

Travelling Around Greece on a Budget – How to Live Frugally!

I never plan my trips too far in advance.  Often they are spur of the moment decisions (driven by depressingly grey UK weather) or the opportunity to take advantage of a cheap flight.  My last trip to Crete and onward around the Dodecanese was neither of these.  The summer of 2018 was probably one of…

Back to Rhodes Town, Farewell to my Compadres and off to Chalki!

Back to Rhodes Town, Farewell to my Compadres and off to Chalki!

We arrive in Rhodes Old Town mid morning.  I am still in a bit of a dilemma regarding my next steps.  My compadres have flights to Manchester and London this evening and I have a ferry that leaves at 3.00am in the morning.  As much as I like to think I still have the staying…

Our feet have just about recovered from yesterdays exploration around Rhodes Old Town.  We will be doing something a little less vigorous today especially as we need to catch the ferry to Nisyros later this evening. Taking the route through the St Johns gate again, we pass the medieval church of St Marie du Bourg. …
