In our week driving the island of Lesvos we saw an amazing array of country side from lush Pine forests to massive olive groves (over 11,000,000 trees), from scrub brush along the storm ravaged shores to the hills covered in wild herbs, from roads too small for a car to goat paths that we constantly… Continue reading Our last day and night on Lesvos
There are places in the world where, as soon as you enter, you know you have come home! As we walked tiredly through the Aegean blue front doors into the Akrogiali Hotel we knew we had found another home. Our host Pearsa and her mom Irenei were there to welcome us with open arms and… Continue reading Akrogiali Hotel and the Aegean Blue Doors
We took the long road...as usual! Driving from Kalloni Bay Resort to Plomari Beach was a bit of a wild ride. The switchbacks were awesome and the tiny towns were interesting with their narrow cobble stone streets and buildings situated in the middle of the road! We got stuck in one town where the street… Continue reading Switchbacks to the Sea
When planning this trip we wanted to visit a few places we have not yet been in Greece. So, we decided it was time to take a few more ferries. We rented a car in Thessaloniki and would drive onto the ferries to each new destination; an adventure indeed. The first part of the adventure… Continue reading Sailing Greece by Ferry
Well, did I mention that Greece is famous for goat paths that the GPS lady thinks are roads! I'm pretty sure I did. As it goes, we decided to take the 'road' along the sea to drive to our hotel... [insert wild laughter here]. The views out over the sea were amazing and the hairpin… Continue reading Drive the roads not the goat paths
We are always on the look-out for another museum. We planned our stay at the Yannis Hotel in order to take in the Phillipi Museum and the archaeological site close by. http://odysseus.culture.gr/h/1/eh155.jsp?obj_id=3376 As usual we enjoyed the trip back into ancient times walking the site and visiting the museum with its trove of intricate objects.… Continue reading Phillipi Museum
I am having real trust issues with the GPS lady! Three days and 3 goat paths later and I am beginning not to trust what she says. We no longer can rely on the accuracy of the 'nav' lady to get us where we are going. It seems that the GPS signal is constantly lost… Continue reading Goat paths again!
The friendly female voice that tells you where to turn next was not working to optimal performance today! Unfortunately she 'lost' the signal about 400 times during our adventures around the Halkadiki peninsula today. My husband says my magnetic personality was the cause...but I don't agree. "Recalculating route" is now my least favorite phrase. We… Continue reading “GPS Signal Lost”
