The soft sand stretches like a golden ribbon across the private sun-drenched beach, tucked into a secluded cove. You feel compelled toward the sea. The warmth of the sand filters through your toes and you can anticipate the cool refreshing water. The crystal clear water laps at your toes and you fall into the blanket… Continue reading Mare Dei Suites Ionian Resort
Driving through the areas of Sereina, Karaninia and Erathematha we were reminded of our trip quest...to find the places where the labors of heracles took place. Here we were almost at the mountain where Heracles visited the centaur Pholus.

Highly recommended for excellent client services and wonderful food!
Beautiful views and wonderful food. The owner was exceptionally attentive and served us the most delicious dinner. My husband tried the moussaka and said it rated a 8.5 on the Don scale! Wow! I don't think any other Moussaka has ever reached that level. He said it was creamy and tasty at the same time.… Continue reading The Taverna To Pelagos
The Dionisos Hotel has been a favorite of ours since 2012 when we spent a few days here and again later in 2015. Now we are back to another place that 'feels-like-home'. Our hosts son has taken over the day-to-day operations but still remembers us from previous trips. Welcomed again with joy and open arms… Continue reading A Special Place- Mytikas
Blessed by the gods the Greek people have been the caretakers of the gift of Athena 'the olive' and the gift of Dionisos 'the vine'. This has become a recurring theme of mine for our travels in Greece; the importance of the olive and the grape vine to the lives of the Greek people. Two… Continue reading The Olive and the Vine
One of our favorite spots on mainland Greece we happened upon quite by chance a few years ago and come back every time we are in Greece - Nea Anchialios. Just 20 km from Volos it is tucked into a quiet little bay on the Pageaetic Gulf. We have stayed at the Paresos Hotel for… Continue reading Paresos Hotel and Nea Anchialaos
As we drive through the central interior of Greece we are stunned by the flat plains of lush green farmland from Veleistino to around Karditsa. The scenes of farmers, lovely little villages, and green and golden fields acknowledges the richness of the land and the spirit of the people who work it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_Greece The fields… Continue reading Cotton and Corn
Once we had finished a lovely breakfast at the Marathon beach Hotel we were off and running...so to speak. The GPS lady took us on a little wild goose chase around some back roads. But, we are so glad she did as we 'found' a wonderful little museum with a fantastic curator, Marileana, who gave… Continue reading Marathon Archaeological Museum
As we drove along the beach way toward our hotel for the night we noticed a lot of young people in full party mode, lots of music and fun happening here! We arrived at the Marathon Beach Hotel fairly late as we docked at Athens at about 7:30 and had an hour and a half… Continue reading Marathon Beach Hotel and Resort
