After a long day of driving (and museums and sites) we were glad to check in to our sea view room at Glyfa Beach Hotel. Staff were friendly and efficient. The small balcony gave us a bit of a sea view. It is a lovely, well appointed, and updated hotel with large rooms and good… Continue reading Glyfa Beach Hotel and the Seaside Fish Taverna
Driving from the Aggelos Hotel to Glyfa Beach we decided to make a stop that we have made before at the small unique museum at Chora. The staff were fantastic and we enjoyed every minute! Needless to say that if this is not our fist time stopping here we must like what it offers. And… Continue reading Museum at Chora
What an absolutely beautiful spot! This was also a new stop for us this trip to Greece. And it was perfect… from the lovely rooms, to the friendly staff, to the fabulous food…and to top it off a beautiful beach for swimming and relaxing with the most fantastic sunsets! Could not have asked for more…and… Continue reading Aggelos Hotel
After a 43 hour journey we arrived back home from Greece early October... with oh so many things to do to catch up. Trying to finish a renovation and addition to our home as well as get ready for four months in Belize was a little dauting at best. But, we managed to get everything… Continue reading Whirlwind travel to home base! And back to travel again!
This winery was highly recommended by our host at Lakonia Bay Apartments.

I was awe inspired by the size and… Continue reading Monemvasia Winery

Beautiful scenery and fantastic roads to drive with the… Continue reading Lakonia Bay Apartments
As this is a road trip…as well as many of our other trips to Greece, we love to travel the back roads, take mountain roads less travelled, and drive along the sea side beach roads. This road to Lakonia Bay was spectacular in its beauty! Winding, twisty, cliffside roads that make your blood run wild… Continue reading Road to Lakonia Bay
We took a little side trip to Nafplion town and found a tall ship at harbor there. I love these old ships so had to take a few pictures. This one looks as if it is ready to take on passengers with its lovely exterior wood facing for the cabins! We originally wanted to go… Continue reading Nafplion Tall Ship – Town walkabout
This site is not big (easily walkable) but interesting. Tholos tombs, graves, and very interesting references to Minion influences here. There are a couple of horse burials as well as very interesting armor finds. The tombs are in good condition and it is easy access with no payment necessary. Recommended for anyone who enjoys ancient… Continue reading Mycenean Cemetery at Dendra
What can I say … one of our favorite wineries in Greece! As usual we tasted some nice wines and then bought them! Adamanthea (the nymph in Greek mythology who hid Zeus from his father to save him from being killed) is still there hosting tastings and she was so kind to have pictures taken… Continue reading Bairaktaris Winery – Return to Nemea – its always wine o’clock!
