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.
My twentieth day in Greece began with some serious packing, oops a new bag, and a final look at my hotel before boarding my ferry to Athens. Today I was taking the slower Blue Star ferry, the trip would last about six hours, depositing me at Piraeus port mid afternoon. One of the great things... 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 →
My fourth day on Santorini and fifteenth in Greece. Today I really just wanted to visit Pyrgos, having heard how lovely it was. After yet another bus trip, I had lost count of how many buses I'd been on to that point, I was in the main square at Pyrgos. I found a place in... Continue Reading →
I was pretty sure when planning my trip to Santorini that I would be attracted to the quieter villages and my first two days had confirmed that. Relying on public transport I had figured out a plan for day 3 that involved taking a bus to Perissa, on the beach side of the island, and... Continue Reading →
Imagine Santorini was once part of a circular volcanic Island, the crescent shaped Santorini that we know now being one half of that circle, Thirassia is part of the other half. It is a short boat trip away, but in other ways, it is a world away, from Santorini. There are a few ways to... Continue Reading →
Everything I had read about tackling the walk from Fira to Oia said to leave early. The path has little shade and it takes a few hours. It was probably overkill that I left at about 6am but I knew how slowly I had done Samaria Gorge, constantly stopping to take photos, and I wanted... Continue Reading →
Day 12 of my trip found me excited. Kid in a candy store level excited. Buried in my handbag was a ferry ticket to Santorini. Now, I could try to pretend that I wasn't into all the Santorini hype that sees it as one of the real cliche Greek islands to visit, but I would... Continue Reading →
