After some days of quality time on the beautiful island of Folegandros, in the Southern Cyclades, it was time to embark the CARNIVAL VISTA in Heraklion (Crete). We spent five days on this newest Carnival Cruise Line vessel to make reports for a couple of magazines. Carnival Cruise Line are somewhat [...]
In June we resided a couple of days on the island of Folegandros, in the Cyclades. Perhaps you would like to know in which place we stayed? Folegandros has three small villages, Karavostasi (the port where you arrive by ferry), Chora and Ano Meria. Agali Beach also has some houses and [...]
Folegandros is a charming little island on the southern edge of the Cyclades, nearby Santorini. It was on our wish list and this year we made it. The "largest" town, Chora, is built on the edge of a 200-metre high cliff. Folegandros is one of the islands which you can recognize [...]
In September I was invited to do a report on FIOR DI LEVANTE, a nearly new ferry, linking the island of Zakynthos and the Peloponnesos. After landing I had to wait 24 hours before I could embark. First things first. In Greece that means: experiencing the most amazing hospitality. The bridge to [...]
When planning our six-day Greek vacation in April we started the wrong way: we first looked at the islands we wanted to discover. Then we started to look at how to get there. Big problem: no ferries. Greece has more than 200 inhabited islands. Although Greece has an amazing armada of ferries, [...]
When I travel I look for pureness, for authenticity. In Greece I find that authenticity I value so much. No neon signs. Just pure, simple and beautiful Chalki Greeks are proud of their culture and their country. They are happy to show it to visitors and most of them wouldn’t dream of [...]
You probably already guessed it. We just cannot get enough of it. For those who know me a bit, they know that I love pure, healthy food with mostly veggies and sometimes fish. This is a dream destination for somebody like me but also Mike loves it, especially the tzatziki and the [...]
We already experienced some of the warmth of Greek hospitality when we saw our friends in Kefalonia. If you ever shared a meal with a Greek friend you know what I’m talking about. When we had dinner with George in Piraeus he ordered at least ten local specialties and always made sure [...]
We recently went for a short week to the Cyclades. When it is my birthday I like to travel, and this year Mike invited me to celebrate it in awesome Greece. We wanted to see our friends George and Ourania and admire their newborn son. Mike’s favorite food is Greek and we [...]
Our friend photographer George and his wonderful wife Ourania with whom we spend marvellous days in Kefalonia earlier this year, sent us some pictures from their road trip up to the northwestern part of Greece. They visited Zagori, a group of small mountain villages and the Vikos-Aoös National Park with the Vikos Gorge [...]
