I love to travel solo, take photos and eat! I don't get to do it often enough but when I do I talk about it here.
A few people have asked me about my trip and I have directed them here so I'd though I'd add a one pager summary for those who don't want to wade through dozens of pages and hundreds of photos. My trip involved 23 nights on the ground in Greece. Day 1 Arrived in the evening... Continue Reading →
After 23 nights in this amazing country I had reached my final day. My flight wasn't until late in the evening so I had a day to fill. By the end of the day I had made a mental note not to do late in the day flights again, as filling the afternoon and evening... Continue Reading →
For my final full day in Greece I had entertained a few options but decided on taking a bus to Nafplio and visiting one of the two major sites nearby. I chose the Theatre at Epidaurus. Mycenae would have been the other option. I can't recall why I chose the way I did, I expect... Continue Reading →
One goal of any tourist visiting Athens surely has to be a visit to the Acropolis. Even if history isn't your thing, the views from such an elevated point demand attention. This day it was my turn. Everything I read said go early, I already had my combined ticket from the day before so I... Continue Reading →

For my last day on Paros I had initially planned to take a ferry to check out Naxos. But after three long days I thought better of it and instead decided to have a lazy day before my travel to Athens the next day. That resolve lasted until about 9am, when I checked the ferry... Continue Reading →
Paros is well positioned for day trips to other islands. Parikia is a busy port, but on my third day on the island I took a bus to Naoussa to depart on a day trip to Delos and Mykonos. Most days there is the opportunity to do this day trip. It is not at all... Continue Reading →
My plan for my second day on Paros was to leave it! Which actually turned into my plans for the next two days as well. Antiparos is a smaller island just near Paros and known a bit as a celebrity hangout. A boat leaves Parikia frequently to take the short journey to Antiparos, alternatively a... Continue Reading →
Day 16 in Greece and I was ready to leave Santorini and take a ferry to Paros. I had to take one more early morning walk first though. My 13yo daughter had just loved one of my phone pictures from earlier in the week, and thinking I might want to print it up for her... Continue Reading →
